The Twitter account and website for CNN appeared to have been hacked on Thursday by individuals representing the Syrian Electronic Army (SEA).
A number of suspicious tweets were posted to CNN’s 11.6 million followers that included allegations that the CIA is behind the al-Qaida network.
“Syrian Electronic Army Was Here … Stop lying … All your reports are fake!” reads one missive posted to the site.
All of the tweets purporting to have been from the pro-Assad group were deleted within 10 minutes.
The company's website also appeared to have been hacked http://news.yahoo.com/cnn-s-twitter-account-hacked-by-syrian-electr...
