Twitter hacked by so called "Iranian cyber army"

This evening (PST) or morning (UTC), Twitter was hacked by a so called Iranian Cyber Army.
Twitter's home page now displays a message from this organization, and Twitter API no longer works.
Please Yoono users, do not suspect Yoono from not working, it's actually Twitter that is not working.

Chances are the hack involves DNS tampering, let's hope they don't get all the authentication information to further damage things at Twitter.

If anyone knows about an API for the "Iranian Cyber Army" social network, just let us know.

UPDATE at 7:10 UTC twitter is back online.
