Facebook users in Syria targeted by cyber attack
- Syria: Saturday, May 07 - 2011 at 10:05
International non-profit digital rights advocacy, the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) has warned against a 'semi-professional' attack being run against users of the secure version of Facebook in Syria, The Register has reported. The attack, detected against multiple Syrian ISPs, against the HTTPS version of the social networking portal relies on a digital certificate unsigned by any certificate authority and probable re-routing of traffic by the Syrian telecom ministry, EFF said. The organisation advised surfers in Syria to use either Tor or proxies outside the country in order to access Facebook.
