Twitter hacked by 'Iranian Cyber Army'
(AFP) – 7 hours ago

WASHINGTON — Popular microblogging site Twitter was briefly shut down overnight, its home page replaced with an image claiming the site had been hacked by the "Iranian Cyber Army."

The website's official blog acknowledged the disruption but gave no details as to how the site had been disrupted and who was responsible.

"As we tweeted a bit ago, Twitter's DNS records were temporarily compromised tonight but have now been fixed," the site's co-founder Biz Stone wrote on the blog.

"We will update with more information and details once we've investigated more fully," he added.

Technology blogs including TechCrunch said Twitter went down around 0600 GMT for about an hour.

Visitors to the site at that time reached a page with an image of a green flag under red text reading "Iranian Cyber Army" and "This site has been hacked by Iranian Cyber Army."

Screengrabs posted on Flickr clearly showed additional text below the image in English.

"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," the text said.

"NOW WHICH COUNTRY IN EMBARGO LIST? IRAN? USA? WE PUSH THEM IN EMBARGO LIST. Take Care," it read.

TechCrunch reported that the disruption also affected Google searches for Twitter. It posted a screengrab showing that searches for a time returned a result reading "This Web Site Has Been Hacked by Iranian Cyber Army," above Farsi script.

TechCrunch translated the text as saying that it was a reaction to Twitter's interference in the internal affairs of "my country", which it said the US authorities had ordered.

Iranian demonstrators protesting the results of June presidential elections used Twitter extensively, both to organize marches and to release information about their movement.

Their use of the microblogging site led some to dub the pro-democracy action against President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad a "Twitter revolution" and made the Iranian election one of the top "trends" on the site this year.

Yep
Before this they were doing it to the reformist websites.

But today is craziness day, one more showing the government is totally lost and Khamenei sick.

They were saying Mousavi and Karoubi should be executed.
And the representative of Khamenei said we should name him... "imam Khamenei" !!!!

Iranians might've thought that the CIA and Mossad share intelligence through Twitter.

Hussein that was stupid of this so called Iranian group to do that but twitter is not your's uncleiwantcandy dot com site that it'll get hacked easily who knows if american govt themselves did that? any proof there isn't enough proof that someone routes you to a page writes i am Iranian i will bust you open! Never the less don't use hacking is easy if you can't hack it yourself for you you might not even know how to start it in first place.

So its either stupid Iranian kids doubt so, or us govt doing idiotic stuff since they've nothing positive to do or a third party.

twitter is nothing to do with a well protected website like ministry of defence or even terminal check it is just what i said.

Ahmadinejad get very small quantity of supporters mostly from the bassijis, the milicians. he got even difficulties now to make his propaganda. if you would know a little bit Iran you would know that now in Iran there is an atmosphere of revolution.

And maybe there is propaganda , from royalists or communists outside Iran but the green movment is above all this. It is all about the all Iranians inside Iran . I have respect for americans or chinese or russians and any country but this is inside problem.

and if it was so much USA propaganda or whatsoever, why Montazeri and the main religious leaders are supporting the greens? except Yazdi but he is the master of Ahmadinejad . this governemnt now has nothing to do with the ideas of revolution but a dictatorship. pls respect the people of Iran to choose what they want

indeed the sepah created a hacking group and they announced themselves to make it stronger before these hacks.

as i said hack twitter is nothing to do with hack defense minister.
As well the important point is that they want avoid any information to get out of Iran.

your hate of USA leads you to a non sense ppoint of view.
Our problem has nothing to do with USA. This is a simple bullshit story made by goverment of Iran to have some support outside Iran of people who hate USA: from Gaza to Russia ... sadly if pakistanis are thinking so i am very sad about this.
