A hacker group known as the Syrian Electronic Army (SEA) claims to have 
“penetrated” one of Israel’s central Internet infrastructure systems in 
Haifa in response to an Israeli attack over the weekend on Syrian 
weapons shipments.

The Anonymous-affiliated SEA, or SCADA Attackers, announced Monday 
afternoon that it had “penetrated one of the main infrastructural 
systems (SCADA) in Haifa and managed to gain access to some sensitive 
data,” according an email announcement by the group released on 
Pastebin, a site often used by Anonymous members.

The SEA also appeared to have hacked on Monday the Twitter feed 
affiliated with the parody news site The Onion.

“BREAKING: #TheOnion readership mass confusion as Syrian Electronic Army 
takes over,” the group tweeted Monday afternoon via the Onion’s account.
