The Syrian Electronic Army took credit for hacking several Twitter accounts on Tuesday afternoon.

As seen in the screenshots below, it appears the SEA hacked three New York Post journalists' accounts -- Mike Puma, Jason Reid and Richard Johnson.

SocialFlow's website was down Tuesday afternoon, and was not back up as of publishing time. However, the company has regained control of its Twitter account.

Tuesday's attacks are the most recent in a series hacking sprees from the SEA over the past several months. Others victims include The Onion, Thomson Reuters and British television network ITV.

Despite the hacking incident, NY Post's Mike Puma maintained his sense of humor:

Going to try and get the Syrian Electronic Army to write my story tonight so I can stay poolside ... Changing my password.— Mike Puma (@NYPost_Mets) August 13, 2013
