The Financial Times website and multiple twitter accounts hacked by Syrian Electronic Army

Syrian Electronic Army hacked the news organization The financial times website and multiple twitter accounts today just before 1 pm BST.

The FT blog showed a message  “Hacked by the Syrian Electronic Army” and Twitter accounts including the Lex Column and FT Markets tweeted “The Syrian Electronic Army was here”.
