The Independent, Evening Standard and Telegraph websites were reportedly hacked by the Syrian Electronic Army today.

The Independent, which had both its main website and the i100 targeted, said sites using the Gigya comment platform were affected.

It said that the Gigya platform itself was not hacked and reported experts as saying “no user data is or was in jeopardy”. The Independent said the hackers entered the Gigya system at GoDaddy, the domain registrar that manages domain names.
