Twitter has apparently been hacked. Invalid security certificate for
wrong site on the Twitter https: home page, Iranian Cyber Army hack
page on main twitter.com. This looks much like an SQL injection
exploit I've dealt with in the past, but I don't know for sure at this
point if the actual Twitter infrastructure has been hacked or if this
is a DNS hack.
Presumably this won't last long, but more info when available.
