The Syrian Electronic Army, a group of hackers that supports the regime of President Bashar al-Assad, has hacked the Twitter account of Skype Wednesday, accusing her Microsoft owner, owner of the communications program on the internet, of espionage. The message “do not use the mail service from Microsoft (Hotmail, Outlook), check your account and sell the information to governments” has appeared on behalf of Skype on Twitter at 11:30 Italian time, before disappearing two hours later. It is not the first time that the army electronic makes itself heard: on several occasions has hacked Twitter accounts and websites of some media or accounts associated with U.S. President Barack Obama.
