How the New York Times web site looked during the hack.
The Syrian Electronic Army (SEA), a Pro-Assad regime hacker group, claims it gained control over a handful of web domains of major media sites including Twitter, The New York Times, and Huffington Post U.K.
The group said in a tweet that it took over the Twitter.com domain. The SEA said it was able to change some of the basic information in Twitter's domain registry, such as the admin name and the email address for contacts, at DomainTools.com, here. However, it looks like that information has been switched back to normal.

Why? The NYT and Huff Post are the most anti-American media out there.

Good heavens! This could turn the
NY Times into a corrupt, disgusting conduit for anti-U.S. propaganda!
In short, nothing changes.
