"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. "
 
I wonder how many people commited suicide. Oh wait, none. Twitter was down so they could not say that they're committing suicide.
 
I doubt that the group that purports to be from Iran is in fact actually from said country. The majority of people from Iran enjoy utilising the convenient service to inform the world of its struggle to change its governmental leadership. Although it does take only one corrupt and disgusting individual to spoil it for everyone, I still doubt that the people who gained illegal access to Twitters servers were Iranian.
