Twitter Hacked by the "Iranian Cyber Army" - working again

Today, one of the biggest take-downs in social media history, took place. The target? None other than little Twitter, completely innocent and un-prepared. A group called the "Iranian Cyber Army" successfully hacked twitter down to nothing but an ugly homepage and evil message:

Iranian Cyber Army

THIS SITE HAS BEEN HACKED BY IRANIAN CYBER ARMY

iRANiAN.CYBER.ARMY@GMAIL.COM

U.S.A. Think They Controlling And Managing Internet By Their Access, But THey Don't, We Control And Manage Internet By Our Power, So Do Not Try To Stimulation Iranian Peoples To….

NOW WHICH COUNTRY IN EMBARGO LIST? IRAN? USA?

WE PUSH THEM IN EMBARGO LIST ;)

Take Care.

Not only was the Twitter homepage down, but status.twitter.com, and other parts of the service remained down as well. We reccomend that you change your passwords just to be safe. -- if this is the new trend in terrorism, where no-one gets hurt, nobody dies, and it can be fixed, I would rather this than anything else.
