L I N K If you couldn’t get into your Twitter account this story tells you why. Apparently a middle eastern group allegedly connected to Iran was upset and hacked into Twitter.
“(uk)Tory MP Patrick Mercer, chairman of Parliament’s counterterrorism sub-committee, said: “Iran is one of the most predatory governments in terms of using the internet and e-attacks.
“It seems this was a revenge attack for Twitter’s role in unsettling the country’s elections.”
One message in Arabic left by the hackers read, “Hezbollah is victorious” in a reference to the Islamic terror group.
Embarrassed Twitter bosses blamed the hijack on a DNS attack, where a web address is diverted to another site.
It was fixed a few hours later.
But critics slammed Twitter for lax security.”

I heard about this just today. It’s scary, but in a way funny.
“Hezbollah is victorious” made me laugh a little.
P.S.
Hezbollah isn’t exactly a political group…they’re a bit more than that.
