The official Twitter account linked to SEA group claimed responsibility for the hack. The group has posted the screenshots of the hacked panels of all the respective web hosting companies.

REASON BEHIND HACK
According to SEA group, Endurance Group's BlueHost, JustHost, HostGator and HostMonster were hosting terrorists web sites on their servers, which is why the group hacked them.

It isn?t the first time when the group has hacked some companies, earlier SEA hackers hacked a number of websites for posting content against its Syrian President.

So one group of terrorists hacks another group of terrorists? okay :1orglaugh

yeah ... :2 cents: they have never heard about legit way, like contant the abuse team or something? they must fuck with tons of legit people on the hostings? now those are some super clever heads ... :2 cents: :Oh crap

This will be the new wave of terrorism right here.... Instead of car bombs and suicide bombers, eventually they will just try to take down a entire cell phone networks in a certain country.

Where are they hacking from? Inside a bombed out building?

Maybe the Syrian Electronic Army hacked EIG, so they could move Assad's enemies' websites to the EIG web servers.
