A federal court in the USA sentenced the Syrian Ahmed Omar Agha (H3Pr0) to 42 months in prison, after convicting him of hacking 47 media and government agencies in the USA and its allies on behalf of Assad's inner circle between 2011 and 2024. The attacks included hacking a news agency's Twitter account in 2013 and spreading false news that Barack Obama had been injured in two explosions at the White House, causing a flash market decline and a temporary loss of $136 billion for the Dow Jones. The US Department of Justice approved the continuation of the multifaceted prosecution of the second partner involved in that case, and the fugitive accused Firas Derder.
