Syrian hackers redirect link on @barackobama Twitter account

A group of Syrian activists known for its hacking was briefly able to redirect a link on the @barackobama Twitter feed to one of its own videos, according to the people who maintain the Twitter feed.

The tweet from the account, which is run by Organizing for Action, initially linked to a Washington Post article. Shortly after it went up, the group -- the Syrian Electronic Army -- was able to redirect the link to its own video.

Here's the tweet:
