The Twitter Account was temporarily suspended after the hack attack. however it is back online now and the tweets posted by the Syrian Electronic Army were deleted.

After gaining back the control, Le Monde tweeted that- After hacking into our account, our teams have now taken the hand. We apologize for any fraudulent posts on our behalf. (Google Translation)

Après le piratage de notre compte, nos équipes ont désormais repris la main. Nos excuses pour les messages frauduleux postés en notre nom.

Syrian Electronic Army later tweeted from their official Twitter account that, We have successfully hacked Le Monde and we will never fail to deliver our message of peace and anti-terrorism. blaming the newspaper and french government for supporting the terrorism in Syria.

The Syrian Electronic Army condemns terrorism in France, but @LeMondefr and French government supported terrorism in #Syria. #SEA

Syrian Electronic Army? Lol do they still have electricity in Syria to fire up their computers in the first place?
Is Syria and its population not enough beaten by its leaders and split factions?
Pfff hack this hack that... just cut them off the internet itself. Its not that hard there is a control switch in New York, one in LA and one in London and Amsterdam. From any of these switches you can literally turn off the whole IP pool in Syria and turn off all connections to the outside world. End of Syrian E army...lol.
