'Iranian Cyber Army' hackers bring Twitter to a halt



from usatoday.com:

"Hackers purporting to be from a pro-Iranian group brought Twitter to a halt for at least an hour and defaced its home page.

The microblogging site became a popular means of communication for opponents of the Iranian regime following disputed Iranian elections.

For about an hour, users who went to the Twitter home page were re-directed to another website that displayed this message: "This site has been hacked by the Iranian Cyber Army."

"USA think they controlling and managing internet by their access, but they don't, we control and manage internet by our power," the message continued, according to the BBC.

It ended with "take care" followed by a winking emoticon.

It was not immediately clear whether the incident was a hoax or in fact the work of an Iranian group."
