Twitter DNS Records Compromised By Iranian Cyber Army

December 18, No Comments

It appears that Twitters DNS Records have been compromised and people going to Twitter.com are being redirected to another website.

There is an obvious lesson to be learned about keeping your credentials safe! This isn’t the first Twitter security incident – a few months ago their web admin password was “password” !

If I was a betting man, I’d say that’s probably gonna be easy for the kids to guess.

In a blog post a few minutes ago, Twitter stated:

“Twitter’s DNS records were temporarily compromised tonight but have now been fixed. As some noticed, Twitter.com was redirected for a while but API and platform applications were working. We will update with more information and details once we’ve investigated more fully.”

The question is, how many ID’s and Passwords does the Iranian Cyber Army now have? After all, they could have easily started capturing them if they redirected the DNS records. I’m sure more details will come to light about exactly what happened. Watch this space!
