A group calling themselves the Iranian Cyber Army temporarily took down the microblogging service Twitter yesterday, re-routing users from the site to their own page.
That page had a picture of a green flag followed by the words: "This site has been hacked by the Iranian Cyber Army."
It is still unclear whether the group has any actual ties to Iran, and how serious the breach was.
Twitter admitted that "its Domain Name Systems' records were temporarily compromised but have now been fixed. The site says it will update with more details once we've investigated more fully."
