If you have all been Twittering last night you would recongize that Twitter was under attack. According to the group who hacked the popular social media site, they are the ‘Iranian Cyber Army’. This is the message they posted on the main of page Twitter:
Iranian Cyber Army
THIS SITE HAS BEEN HACKED BY IRANIAN CYBER ARMY
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.
Now according to the looks of the situation, Twitter was hacked, but on Twitter’s Official Blog, it was merely a DNS hijack. An attack from Iran is something not out of the ordinary because of the anger that was expressed over the 2009 Iranian elections on Twitter. It served as a battleground throughout the whole saga, with even the US goverment making sure that everyone had access to the site.
