Me or Woman's Weekly hacked???

I'm doing my magazine dailies and on the Woman's Weekly ones the message comes up "You have been hacked by the Syrian Electronic Army". Does anyone know anything about this?

  • Just seen this on The Guardian new site..


    "A portion of visitors to all those sites are presented with a blank screen and a javascript popup telling them “you have been hacked by the Syrian Electronic Army”.
    Blame fell on the ad network due to the sporadic nature of the outages, which are difficult to replicate and spread over a number of sites.
    Such symptoms are common for attacks delivered through an ad network, which serves third-party code across a number of websites."

    I know it's not really funny but it has tickled me that they picked on a 'women's' magazine. Do they really want to mess with a hormonal creature wielding knitting needles*!!!




    *I wasn't casting aspersions on readers of this type of mag, only myself ;)

    Q) What's the diff between a hormonal woman and a terrorist?

    A) You can negotiate with a terrorist
