Original Message Readers who tried to click on the New York Times' website got nothing but error messages for an estimated seven hours on Tuesday, with the ‘Syrian Electronic Army’ - a group of hackers who support President Bahar al-Assad of Syria - claiming responsibility.

On the same day that it ran an opinion piece entitled ‘Bomb Syria, even if it is illegal’, readers who tried to visit the website got nothing but error messages. The website went down at around 3pm ET and wasn't working properly again until after 10pm, although within minutes of the attack an alternative site was posting stories about chemical attacks in Syria.
