Today, the Syrian Electronic Army has hacked into the MakrMonitor account managing the Ebay and Paypal domains.
SEA managed to modify the DNS records of ebay.co.uk and paypal.co.uk and left them defaced.
"For denying Syrian citizens the ability to purchase online products, Paypal was hacked by SEA" The group said in a tweet.
The group said it is purely a hacktivist operation and no user accounts or data affected by this breach.
"If your Paypal account is down for a few minutes, think about Syrians who were denied online payments for more than 3 years. #SEA"
Syrian Electronic Army is best known for its Spear Phishing attacks where employees of organization are targeted with malicious emails. It appears the group used the same attack to compromise the Mark Monitor account of Ebay.
