We’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

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….

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.

oh...so that's why I can't access twitter right now..

*checks twitter*
Nope.

I can access my twitter right now....

^oh wait...it works now

We are under attack. If Twitter is not safe, we are not safe.

I can access right now! I was scared

Looks like some Iranians are still pissed because the US government world was stalking everyone watching everything that happened in their country a few months ago via Twitter.

Oh, and I just lost my respect for Twitter. Seriously.

I'm sure they are absolutely DEVASTATED over your loss of respect.

So that's why I couldn't access earlier. That is scary
