Skype's social media accounts hacked in protest against US surveillance The Microsoft-owned video-calling service had both its Twitter account and its blog hacked by the prolific hacking group James Vincent James Vincent is Science and Technology Reporter for The Independent online, and his work appears in print too. In the past he has written freelance for Wired, the New Statesman and the Financial Times. Thursday 02 January 2014 A group of hackers identifying themselves as the Syrian Electronic Army (SEA) have briefly taken control of social media platforms belonging to Microsoft-owned Skype. The blog and Twitter account of the video-call service were both targeted, with the attackers posting messages claiming that Microsoft sells its users’ data to governments. “Don’t use Microsoft emails (hotmail, outlook), They are monitoring your accounts and selling the data to the governments,” said a message posted to Skype’s blog on 1st January. A similar message posted from Skype’s Twitter account was re-tweeted more than 8,000 times. The company has since deleted the posts and acknowledged the hack, tweeting “You may have noticed our social media properties were targeted today. No user info was compromised. We’re sorry for the inconvenience.” The SEA (a group of hackers supportive of Syria’s president Bashar al-Assad) are apparently responding to recent revelations over the US government’s capacity to spy on internet users the world over. Documents leaked by ex-NSA contractor Edward Snowden showed that Microsoft had actively colluded with the NSA and the FBI to provide “backdoor” access to the company’s services, including email clients Outlook and Hotmail, Skype and the cloud service SkyDrive. Other leaks implicated the complicity of major tech companies including Yahoo, Google, Facebook and Apple. All the companies accused of giving away their users’ data have since refuted the allegations. Since the revelations America’s top tech companies have grouped together to publicly decry the US government’s surveillance policies and call for a halt to the “bulk data collection of Internet communications”. In an open letter published by the Reform Government Surveillance group, companies including Google, Apple and Microsoft claimed that the balance between national security and individual freedom “has tipped too far in favour of the state and away from the rights of the individual.” “Reports about government surveillance have shown there is a real need for greater disclosure and new limits on how governments collect information,” said Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg. “The US government should take this opportunity to lead this reform effort and make things right.” Life & Style blogs Travel Shop Report finds English children among the unhappiest in world Sheridan Le Fanu: Google Doodle marks birthday of Irish writer Anal sex study reveals climate of 'coercion' The science of saturated fat: A big fat surprise about nutrition? iPhone 6 'release date' firmed up in leaked photos of Apple smartphone Exclusive: We share blame for creating 'jihad generation', says Muslim strategist Robin Williams Emmys tribute led by Billy Crystal criticised for including 'racist' joke about Muslim woman The Rotherham child abuse scandal is a tale of apologists, misogyny and double standards Scottish independence TV debate: Pumped-up Alex Salmond bounces back in bruising second round against Alistair Darling Do you realise just how foolish the UK looks?

- Objavljeno 02. 01. 2014. - Kategorije - Tagovi - Boris Radošević Skype je godinu počeo s hakerskim napadom Predstavnici Skypea, točnije ekipa koja stoji iza službenog Twitter računa kompanije, nije dobro započela godinu. Provaljeno im je u račun nakon čega su se zaredale poruke koje predstavnici Skypea nikada uobičajeno ne bi (smjeli) objaviti. ‘Ne koristite Microsoftov e-mail (hotmail, outlook), nadziru vaše račune i prodaju podatke vladi. Više detalja uskoro #SEA’ Priloženi potpis otkriva tko stoji iza preuzimanja računa – Syria Electronic Army, no nakon otprilike dva sata predstavnici Skypea ponovo su preuzeli vlastiti račun na Twitteru, a spornu poruku te još njih nekoliko izbrisali. You may have noticed our social media properties were targeted today. No user info was compromised. We’re sorry for the inconvenience. — Skype (@Skype) January 2, 2014 Usporedo s računom na Twitteru SEA je preuzela i Skypeovu fan stranicu na Facebooku te službeni blog, no oba računa također su vraćena u prave ruke.
