Twitter Hacked by Iranian Cyber Army
Word spread quickly today that Twitter was hacked last night by a group proclaiming to be the "Iranian Cyber Army."
For awhile, the Twitter main page was replaced with the image above.
Twitter says that the service is back to normal, but in typical Iranian fashion, I've heard rumors that a number of tweets have been taken hostage.
Some tweets that may have gone missing:
- One user reports that she tweeted "This ice cream is giving me a brainfreeze. FU Ben & Jerry!" but has yet to receive a single sympathy reply.
- Another user tweeted last night "FREE TIX 4 AVATAR!!! TOMORROW!!!! Let me know who wants to come!" No one has replied requesting these tickets which is highly suspect. Who would turn down free tickets to Avatar??
- A user reports that she tried to start a new Twitter game "#MyFingerSmellsLike" but nothing is coming up on Twitter search. This is obviously another disturbing development.
Appeals have been made to President Obama to mobilized the U.S. military to get these tweets back.
We'll keep you posted.
