On 27 November 2014, the Syrian Electronic Army hijacked the gigya.com domain by changing its DNS configuration at the domain registrar. This allowed them to hack into many of Gigya's customer sites like Forbes, Telegraph, NBC, OK Magazine and others. Shortly after the incident, the CEO of Gigya, Patrick Salyer confirmed the news officially on Gigya's blog stating that no data was compromised, and that the issue had been resolved within an hour of Gigya identifying the issue. The next day, on 28 November 2014, the Syrian Electronic Army issued a statement taking responsibility for the attack.
