I hate to say it, but I'm rooting for Syria against my own country.

So fuck yeah! Go Syria, go!

This is getting stranger by every second

Move to Syria and see how you are treated. I bet you come running home.

Although no evidence was found, this is obviously an Assad cyber-attack.

I guess if he take out Facebook, Obama will have to go to war.

Pretty funny but not that hard, it's basically just modifing the contact info of the domain registration.

Only a nasty natural disaster and war off cource

Lol, cool.

You know Assad and his wife are computer nerds right?

from an 2011 interview

"Comparing Syria’s leadership with that of a Western country, he said, was like comparing a Mac with a PC. “Both computers do the same job, but they don’t understand each other,” he said. “You need to translate. If you want to analyse me as the East, you cannot analyse me through the Western operating system, or culture. You have to translate according to my operating system, or culture.” That’s the inner nerd in you speaking, I said, and he laughed out loud. I can’t imagine too many other Arab leaders you could get away with calling a nerd."

"Until he became president, Bashar al-Assad was not greatly involved in politics; his only public role was head of the Syrian Computer Society, which introduced the Internet to Syria in 2001"

Who is Syrian eletronic army?

Iranian special forces

May be, I wouldn't be surprised by that.

Syrian Electronic Army

The Syrian Electronic Army, also known as the Syrian Electronic Soldiers, is a collection of pro-government computer hackers aligned with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. Using denial of service attacks, defacement, and other methods, it mainly targets political opposition groups and western websites, including news organizations and human rights groups. The Syrian Electronic Army (SEA) is the first public, virtual army in the Arab world to openly launch cyber attacks on its opponents,[2] though the precise nature of its relationship with the Syrian government is debated.[3]
