story.twitterhack.cnnWell, it is interesting. NamePros is down, no one knows what is going on. The moderators, admins have no idea what is going on and the owner  isn’t making any comments and now, Twitter is getting hacked by the “Iranian Cyber Army”. Lol?

If anyone was surfing Twitter today, you would of saw a black background, with the message “IRANIAN CYBER ARMY, THIS SITE HAS BEEN HACKED BY IRANIAN CYBER ARMY, IRANIAN CYBER ARMY @ GMAIL.COM” with a image of the Iranian flag.

Here is a excerpt from Cnn.com:

(CNN) — The popular microblogging Web site Twitter was hacked overnight, leaving the millions who use the site tweetless.

Those who tried to access Twitter were redirected to a site that had a green flag and proclaimed “This site has been hacked by Iranian Cyber Army.”

The Web site was down for nearly an hour. Representatives from Twitter could not be immediately reached for comment, but the company spoke about the issue on its official Twitter page.

“Twitter’s DNS records were temporarily compromised but have now been fixed. We will update with more information soon,” the company posted at about 2:30 a.m. ET Friday.

It was unclear who the group Iranian Cyber Army was and if it is connected to Iran. However, Twitter has had an interesting relationship with Iran.
