Comment on How Reuters got compromised by the Syrian Electronic Army

Comments

[TD;DR]

It wasn't a problem inside reuters, but their 3rd party provider called (Taboola), which injects ads on reuters. So once Taboola hacked, the ads system started injecting a script to redirect that page to another one.

Finally: Be careful with those 3rd parties ads tools etc.
