Hackers briefly blocked the access to the most popular internet messaging service, Twitter, steering traffic to another website last month, where a group reportedly calling itself the "Iranian Cyber Army" claimed responsibility.
Users trying to reach Twitter on that day were redirected to a webpage that had a picture of green flag and a message that said, " This site has been hacked by Iranian Cyber Army". There was no evidence that the hackers are actuallly linked to Iran. Websites like Twitter and facebook bring attention to the Iranian opposition during the country's cracked down after its June election, with users posting minute-by-minute updates and amateur videos.
Later that day, Twitter posted a message on its blog saying that its 'Domain Name System records were temporarily compromised but have now been fixed saying it will update more details "once we've investigation more fully".
