But the seemingly isolated hack may be part of a bigger problem.
Josh Shahryar, a writer for EA WorldView, claimed that the Syrian Electronic Army is carrying out an attack on a number of Al Jazeera's social media accounts. He advised his followers not to click on links included in posts.
So far, the organization's English Facebook page appears safe.
However, The Stream Twitter account has certainly been affected. The hack is hard to notice with a quick glance because the tweets stick closely to the news organization's usual tone.
But a closer look reveals some typos and a strong anti-revolution subtext.

Meanwhile, the hackers accused Al Jazeera itself of fabricating a child martyr story.
Through its Al Jazeera English live account, the organization told followers it is working to resolve the issue and echoed Shahryar's link warning.
It's not the first time the Syrian Electronic Army has taken over a television network's social media account. Back in March, the group allegedly took control of Al Arabiya's English Facebook page and posted messages about unverified conflicts in Syria.
