Syrian Electronic Army Alias SEA claims to breached into the systems of United State Central Command (CENTCOM),the attack appears to be in response of US Intentions regarding to use cyber warfare on Syria.
So far,the hackers have published few screenshots on there twitter account showing that they have access on Army Knowledge Online (AKO) servers,the AKO provides enterprise information services to the Army and Department of Defense customers,which provide classified and unclassified services to both,The image published by the SEA on Twitter shows that they have obtained information related to Department of Defense organizations, particularly Air Force operations.
The representatives on an Interview with The Tampa Tribune that "The hackers claims are totally bogus".
Bob Gourley, the former CTO of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) and founder of Crucial Point LLC, has told The Tampa Tribune that the files shown in the screenshot published by the hacktivists appear to contain unclassified information.
Gourley says that if the SEA’s claims are true, they appear to have access to unclassified areas, not SIPRNet, the network used by the Department of Defense and the Department of State to transmit classified information. At this point, it would be more an embarrassment than a security concern.
However, the SEA argues that the screenshot it has published is only the beginning, claiming to have successfully penetrated “many central repositories.”
A lot more data will be published in the upcoming days, which, according to the pro-Assad hacktivists, will demonstrate that the breach is more serious than it appears at this point.
