Epilepsy Foundation Was Targeted in Mass Strobe Cyberattack
Hackers sent videos and images of flashing strobe lights to thousands of Twitter followers of the Epilepsy Foundation last month in a mass cyberattack that apparently sought to trigger seizures in those with epilepsy, the foundation said on Monday.
The series of online attacks was particularly reprehensible, it said in a statement, because it took place during National Epilepsy Awareness Month.
