DAMASCUS, SYRIA – A group of pro-Syrian government hackers have reported that their electronic cyber-offensive against the Marine Corps has been prematurely concluded after its members became stranded on the login page for Marine Online.
Hacker AliBaba624 posted that the Syrian Electronic Army (SEA), which had earlier defaced the Marines' recruiting website Marines.com, had spent the last twenty-three hours stuck on the website: unable to log on, navigate away, or answer the security questions required to change their password.
The jihacktivists as they call themselves, first broke onto Marines.com on Monday, posting pictures of sailors, soldiers, and airmen holding up signs claiming they didn't join the military to fight, something most Marines already knew.
Normal visitors to Marines.com, consisting of six poolees and their families, were reportedly confused by the image and kept responding with posts like "God bless our troops" and "I loves my Marines."
