Twitter, The New York Times, and other prominent websites were struck by a powerful cyberattack that continued affecting other websites into Tuesday evening, directing visitors to a site purportedly controlled by the Syrian Electronic Army (SEA).

The pro-Syrian government SEA has recently conducted several high-profile attacks against media and other websites.
