Syrian Electronic Army Hacked PayPal and Ebay.

The Pro hacker group "Syrian Electronic Army" hacked two big economic sites PayPal and Ebay saturday. SEA easily managed to get into The Domain Registry of Paypal and Ebay which is Managed by Mark Monitor.


SEA Hackers defaced ebay.co.uk and paypal.co.uk by making few changes in DNS record and redirecting it to other server. Both the sites was showing the same image:-

According to their tweet, this hack was For denying Syrian citizens the ability to purchase online products using Paypal. 'It is purely a hacktivist operation and no user accounts or data affected by this breach,' The group said in other tweet.
 
The group also hacked the email account Paul Whitted, Sr. Manager, Site Engineering Center at eBay. Looks like "SEA" have much more deep control in these sites. Currently the situation is under control and both the sites are working normally. In their previous hacks CNN and Microsoft were victim of the attacks.

As it was a DNS Hijacking attack its sure that there's no harm to the both site users.
PayPal Responded on the recent hack and tweeted, "We’re aware our UK & France marketing pages were redirected briefly for a few users. Situation is resolved; NO customer info was compromised".
