Twitter Hacked


A funny thing happened to me tonight.

I tried to log into Twitter, and got no response…

I tried a few minutes later and got this:
Twitter Hacked - Stage 1

Then I tried a few minutes later and got this:
Twitter Hacked

Did a litlte digging and it seems like at 01:26am EDT the DNS records were changed. New DNS servers are pointing the requests at a hosting provider with that page on it. So Twitter’s servers themselves don’t seem to have been attacked, but if the hackers are clever they could easily be capturing and recording attempts to login via Twitter plaintext API (used by most third-party applications and therefore potentially millions of users) – I haven’t tested to see if this is the case
