Twitter Hack Update

"There is a history between Iran and Twitter. It was well noted and covered in the media that Twitter was used as a tool during the Iranian election protests. The US government actually intervened to assure that Twitter was available to the protestors in Tehran and around the country. This attack may be an act of reprisal from groups who were not happy with the role that Twitter played during the protests.
Twitter’s DNS records were compromised but have now been corrected. Twitter.com was redirected for a while but API and platform applications were working. "
