The Bad News: I slept through it.
That is because it happened at about 6:00 in the morning, local twitter time in California. (I THINK! — if not please correct me…) That would have been 9:00 a.m. EST, I was still asleep, so, it didn’t really affect me.
Hackers hijacked the Web site of micro-blogging community Twitter.com early Friday, briefly redirecting users to a Web page for a group calling itself the “Iranian Cyber Army.”
The attackers apparently were able to redirect Twitter users by stealing the credentials needed to administer the domain name system (DNS) records for Twitter.com. DNS servers act as a kind of phone book for Internet traffic, translating human-friendly Web site names like “Twitter.com” into numeric Internet addresses that are easier for computers to handle”Twitter’s DNS records were temporarily compromised but have now been fixed,” the company said in a brief statement on its Web site. “We are looking into the underlying cause and will update with more information soon.”

No, I am not going to blame President Obama. Sorry, I will leave that to Sean Hannity. If anyone, I blame Iran.
Someone needs to get those Iranian hackers a better watch. Had they done this at say, oh, 12:00 on the east coast, it would have been internet bedlam!
