Justice Dep't Indicts Syrian Electronic Army Members

The Justice Department has indicted three current or former members of the so-called Syrian Electronic Army for computer hacking-related conspiracies. Prosecutors allege that two Syrians, 22-year-old Ahmad Umar Agha and 27-year-old Firas Dardar, tricked email users to steal usernames and passwords to compromise government, media and private-sector computer systems.
