Swastikas and Hacked Twitter Accounts On 15 March 2017, many users including some which are considered high in profile discovered tweets were made from their accounts by an unauthorized hacker. According to Onyanga-Omara, J. (2017, March 15), the tweets included a swasticka and hashtags such as "#Nazialmanya".
The majority of the posts made by the attacker were actually written in Turkish while attacking accounts such as UNICEF USA, Floyd Mayweather's promotional account, and BBC North America. This type of attack clearly disrupts Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability also known as the CIA triad. As per our text by Kim D. and Solomon M. G. (2014), Confidentiality deals with the guarding of a user's information and their privacy. If the hacker made it past their credentials then they had access to their profiles most likely containing more private information.
Integrity is side of the triangle that ensures data or information remains unchanged or unaltered. Integrity was lost from the moment the attacker gained entry into the accounts and made their first tweet. The last leg of the triangle is Availability, we know at least one account was unaccessible for an unspecified period of time as account owner tweeted they "Temporarily lost control" this again was according to Onyanga-Omara, J (2017, March 15).
Thinking more critically the vulnerability; which is an area susceptible to attacks; Kim D. and Solomon M. G. (2014) , was not within twitters main servers but in Twitter Counter's third part application. Twitter Counter is an organization based out of Amsterdam which provides analytic and statistics for over 200 million Twitter accounts. Looking over Twitter Counter's Terms of Service page it appears they have covered all of their bases and within it have removed themselves from being liable to any damages caused by the hack. Under the General Conditions section there are thirteen unique conditions listed, number eleven clearly states TWC (Twitter Counter) shall not be liable. Twitter Counter (2008 - 2017)
My biblical example comes from the book of Exodus, Chapter 23 verse 1. "Thou shalt not raise false report: put not thine hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness." The attackers who broke into the Twitter accounts and made fictitious post under their names, raised a false report with the intent on causing harm or embarrassment. Christians are called to love thy neighbors, while the swasticka could e viewed as a symbol of hatred.
