The Twitter account of Thomson Reuters was hacked on Tuesday in another apparent attack by the Syrian Electronic Army.
The hackers used the account to post seven images , mostly explicit cartoons in support of Syrian president Bashar al-Assad, before the account was suspended 35 minutes later.
The attack began at 2.30am BST.
Thomson Reuters is the latest victim among global media firms that have been targeted by the campaign, including the Guardian, Associated Press and CBS in April and the Financial Times and Daily Telegraph in May.
