The pro-Assad group Syrian Electronic Army claims it has hacked the President Barack Obama’s website , Email accounts and his personal Twitter and Facebook accounts also.


Last night, Syrian Electronic Army (SEA) hacked into Obama's donation website donate.barackobama.com, which was temporarily redirected to the website of the hacking group (sea.sy/indexs/) with a short message: “Hacked by SEA”.
The hackers were able to take over only a secondary donations page. It was an older page - still on the site, but was no longer being used.

They have also posted fake tweets and updates from Obama's Facebook Page and Twitter accounts, "All the links that Barack Obama account tweeted it and post it on Facebook was redirected to a video showing the truth about Syria" Hacker told Mashable in an interview.


At the time of writing, the donate.barackobama.com website no longer redirects visitors to the SEA’s website, but the links posted on his Twitter and Facebook accounts had not been fixed as of publishing time.

According to a screenshot shared by the hacking group, they have also claimed that they have access Obama Campaign email accounts.
