The Washington Post said Thursday its website was hacked by the Syrian Electronic Army, becoming the latest media organization victimized by the group that backs strongman Bashar al-Assad.<\/p>\n

A note to readers said the Post website “was hacked today, with readers on certain stories being redirected to the site of the Syrian Electronic Army.”<\/p>\n

The Post said it was “working to resolve the issue.”<\/p>\n

The hacker group has been linked to attacks on the websites or Twitter feeds of numerous media organizations including Agence France-Presse, The Financial Times, the Associated Press and the satirical news site The Onion.<\/p>\n

Earlier this week, the hackers hit the Facebook and Twitter accounts of the New York Post.<\/p>\n

The group has claimed the news media has been biased in its coverage of the deadly conflict in Syria.<\/p>\n
