Today Syrian Electronic Army (SEA) hacked Microsoft's Office blog just after few hours when it was redesigned. The blog was defaced, Syrian Electronic Army once again posted their messages and it was quickly recovered by Microsoft.
The Syrian Electronic Army also posted some screenshot's of both old and new WordPress administration panel of the Microsoft Official Office Blogs on their twitter account.
Last week, Syrian Electronic Army managed to take over Microsoft's official blog and two Twitter accounts. Earlier in the month, the group hijacked Skype's social media accounts also a Xbox Official Instagram account.
The company looks to investigate and resolve the issue. It seems Syrian Electronic Army is able to access some of Microsoft employee email accounts.
In a tweet, The SEA teased Microsoft team that changing the CMS would not help the company if their employees are hacked and they don't know about it.
Microsoft has reassured users that no personal data has been compromised in the result of the attack. Now Microsoft should take this attack seriously to stop further embarrassments.
