This is a screenshot of what Twitter looked like at around 1AM Eastern Standard Time.

(Sorry for the duplicate post, but I realized it's better to link to the screenshot of Twitter than Twitter itself, which is down at the moment.)

Could not find any information but pingdom does now report it has down. Here is a copy of the source code of the hacked page I first saw :

<html>

<head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-us"> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"> <title>..:: This Web Site Has Been Hacked By Iranian Cyber Army ::.. </title> </head>

mowjcamp was apparently a reformist overseas-based website that was hacked in the same way.

The lack of respect for modern web standards and accessibility here is shocking. No alt tags? All in-line styles with no CSS? And no XHTML?

Shame on them.

saya kira orang-orang itu memang tidak butuh styles, apa yang mereka butuhkan adalah pesan dapat tersampaikan, in any language sesingkat mungkin

Some details in here too:

Seems a DNS hijacking for sure.

I found no website reporting any information... Anyone?

This feels like the 9/11 of internet

Who knows who it really is. Could be some random kiddies in Des Moines.

Or some random kitties in da mines.

And Google's take on the "Iranian Cyber Army":

You're calling out that a search for "indian cyber army" is performed more often than one for "iranian cyber army"?

Are you new to the Internet?
