(OP) User ID: 843578 United States 12/18/2009 01:47 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Update II: Twitter.com is down, status.twitter.com is down (not useful, perhaps they should host it at blogger). Some tweets are getting through at the moment because parts of the API are up. Search also seems to be working. The Firehose is up – Tweets are coming in from FriendFeed (all those tweets about ‘is twitter down’ are from third-party sites) Update III: It is suggested that if you use the same password on your Twitter account with other accounts, now would be a good time to change your password on those other accounts. Because of the scale of this hack, it can only be assumed right now that Twitter has been completely compromised. [link to www.techcrunch.com] I think we're doomed.... |

User ID: 839448 United States 12/18/2009 02:55 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | What if Twitter just turned itself off for a few hours. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 841829and said it's Iran. How convenient. You watch it happen all over the net and it will be IRAN. The storm is closing in to begin again from the beginning. Never sitting through my waking life oblivious. The ignorance running rampant through the city is indicative of something worse; this picture isn't pretty. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 843754 United States 12/18/2009 07:49 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to www.techcrunch.com] Quoting: Crazy DiamondWe’ve received multiple tips right around 10 pm that Twitter was hacked and defaced with the message below. The site is currently offline. We’re looking into this and waiting on a response from Twitter. The message reads: Iranian Cyber Army THIS SITE HAS BEEN HACKED BY IRANIAN CYBER ARMY [email protected] 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…. NOW WHICH COUNTRY IN EMBARGO LIST? IRAN? USA? WE PUSH THEM IN EMBARGO LIST ;) Take Care. Update: – We have just found out that the same defacement is appearing at at least one other site, mawjcamp.org. We are not able to see what was at this domain before, but it is now displaying the same defacement that Twitter was only a few minutes ago. Twitter does not have the best record with security issues. We have previously covered a number of incidents, and as recently as two months ago their web servers were misconfigured to reveal detailed internal network information. We also previously wrote about their admin interface having a password of ‘password’ on one account, and the well-known Twitter doc incident. We do not know a lot about the group claiming responsibility for the attack as we haven’t heard their name before and they do not show up in any defacement mirrors or security sites. Similar Iranian groups were active during the election campaign in that country. We have emailed the group (they were kind enough to leave an address on the defacement) for a comment (also added them on Gchat – worth a shot). See screenshots at link. Twitter is still down. Did the evil Iranian Cyber Army remember to remove their Star of David necklaces this time? |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 843767 United States 12/18/2009 08:52 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | DNS hijacking does not mean that Twitter itself was compromised in any way. Though some feared that a worse attack was afoot and advocating that you change your passwords that resemble that of your Twitter account, it now appears that those concerns were overstated. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 843553That raises even more questions |
