E! Online Twitter Account Hacked, Syrian Electronic Army Takes Credit

Entertainment news outlet E!'s Twitter account was hacked Saturday, tweeting fake headlines about Justin Bieber, Angelina Jolie and the conflict in Syria. The Syrian Electronic Army, a group of hackers aligned with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, is claiming responsibility for the hack.
"Exclusive: Justin Bieber to E!online: I'm a gay," reads the first fake tweet, sent at approximately 1 p.m. ET. "Angelina Jolie admits, in E! latest issue, that Jordan is to blame for the Syrian refugees' atrocious conditions," reads another. The obviously fake tweets have been retweeted thousands of times between them.
The fake tweets contained shortlinks appearing to be legitimate, but may point visitors' browsers to malware downloads or other damaging sites. It is inadvisable to click any links tweeted by @eonline until the situation is resolved.
