Microsoft hacked by Syrian Electronic Army again

Ten days after Microsoft's Skype social media resources were hijacked by the Syrian Electronic Army, the Microsoft News Twitter account — @MSFTNews — was hijacked, www.zdnet.com. 

Within an hour the tweets were removed, but you can see them nearby in a screen grab from the Twitter feed widget on the Microsoft News Center web page.

The first tweet was a retweet from @Official_SEA16 during the last attack: "Don't use Microsoft emails (hotmail,outlook),They are monitoring your accounts and selling the data to the governments." [Note, if it needs to be said, there is no evidence that Microsoft has done any such thing.] The next tweet was the same message coming direct from @MSFTNews.

The next tweet was a crack at Internet Explorer, followed up by "Syrian Electronic Army was here".
