Iranian hacktivists hit Twitter site

Twitter was disrupted Thursday night by attackers who hacked Twitter’s domain name servers and rerouted Twitter traffic as well as posting their own banner on the micro-blogging services page. The service returned to normal by Friday morning.

Technology blog Mashable, attributed the attack to a group claiming to be the “Iranian Cyber Army.” Judging by the graphic they left, it appeared to be a hacktivist attack.
