Twitter is Down; Is the Iranian Cyber Army Responsible?
When I try to connect to the site, I get an error message from my browser (not the infamous fail whale), but TechCrunch says it has received several tips stating that around 10 p.m. Pacific Time, the site was hacked and defaced with a message from a group identifying itself as the Iranian Cyber Army. The group may be using a DNS redirect to accomplish this.
Ive emailed Twitter to see if the company can shed any light on whats going on. Twitter has had a number of issues with security before, but apparently its not just Twitter tonight the image is showing up on other sites, like mowjcamp.org too.
Some covering the story say it is likely that Twitter has been so compromised, that account passwords might have been hacked as well. TechCrunch has included an advisory that Twitter users should change their other passwords if they use the same one for multiple services.
