Reuters has suffered a second Security breach in two days after hackers take control of one of its Twitter accounts.
"Earlier today @ReutersTech was hacked and changed to @ReutersME," said a spokesperson for Reuters, which is owned by Thomson Reuters CorpTO>. "The account has been suspended and is currently under investigation."
The Hack comes after two days after hackers broke into Reuters blogging platform on Friday and posted a false story about an alleged interview with a Syrian rebel leader.
In the latest incident a series of 22 false tweets were sent purporting to be from Reuters News. Some of the tweets also carried false reports about Syrian rebel losses suffered in battles with Syrian government forces.
Thomson Reuters had no immediate information on who was behind the hacking. As far as we know, no hacker group has claimed responsibility for either of the two attacks.
