[UPDATE] White House/AP Cyber Attacks 2 connected Groups 1 Big problem


Two hacking groups have taken credit for launching cyber attacks against the AP and the White House ... but the perps are connected to the core ... TMZ has learned.

The Syrian Electronic Army (SEA) claims they "owned" the AP after successfully hacking into its Twitter account and posting a fake item that President Obama was injured in an explosion. According to reports, SEA has hacked Twitter for months to spread political messages.

Exposed, the group behind most major celebrity swattings, is flying its flag as the team behind today's 911 bomb threat directed at the White House.

Sources close to the investigation tell us, the two groups are actually connected and have members working for both operations. Our sources say Exposed came out first to claim responsibility for the fake bomb threat. As we've previously reported, Exposed has taken credit for more than a dozen celebrity swatting calls.

As for why SEA took credit for the AP prank ... it's unclear. What is clear is that the prank was coordinated between the 2 groups -- a 1-2 punch, if you will.

  1. Dept. of homeland security ; where are you? You really need to up your game if you're not able to stop this group from wreaking real havoc.

    Anyone else see the 'Irony' of their threat?

    If they are so smart to be able to bomb the WHITE HOUSE, why not just take their asses over to North Korea and bomb them instead of demanding that the U.S. declare war?

    Blowing smoke out of their asses as usual.
