Techcrunch is reporting that twitter has been hacked again and this time it’s by the so called ‘Iranian Cyber army’!! I’ve tried accessing twitter and its giving me an ISE. I’ve been watching the trends on Google and found that this was a RED hot volcanic.

The news spreading like wild fire around 10PM PST time…. Here is a screenshot of the Google trend on twitter attack.

Although twitter posted an update that this issue caused due to “Twitter’s DNS records being temporarily compromised but have now been fixed.”

Well, there is no security system that’s 100% secure, including Twitter’s. Someone good enough can always break in, right?

  absolutely… i agree there is no security system that’s 100% secure… but such a popular service getting hacked again and again is ridiculous i think

An almost billion dollar company should be able to protect itself from hackers. They should be, at the very least, able to re-route the DOS…
