The millions of Twitter buffs are at dismay as Twitter gets hacked for the fourth time consecutively, this year. The last time it was hacked in August this year, Twitter said in its status blog that it was 'defending against a denial-of-service attack,' in which hackers command scores of computers to a single site at the same time, preventing legitimate traffic from getting through. This time the site seems to be hacked by an Iranian Cyber Army.

It marks an already difficult week for Twitter. Its application Twitterfeed had a data migration only this weekl, leaving many users with a reduced service. The new hack is nothing but an added woe. The problem started sometime last night. The site, which has been hacked for the fourth time this year, is offline and the message reads, "This site has been hacked by Iranian Cyber Army.

" The message at the bottom of the hacked page, and has been translated from Urdu by Tech Crunch, goes on to say, "U.S.A. Think they are controlling and managing Internet by their access, but they don't. We control and manage Internet by our power, so do not try to stimulation Iranian peoples to... NOW WHICH COUNTRY IN EMBARGO LIST? IRAN? USA? WE PUSH THEM IN EMBARGO LIST ;) Take Care."

2. Twitter is just like anything else

it is a tool that may be useful for some and not for others. If it works for you, fine, if it doesn't, fine.

It's just a thing.

3. Why is the Iranian Cyber Army posting messages in Urdu?

Farsi is spoken in Iran, and in parts of Afghanistan (as well as Azerbaijan). Urdu is spoken in ... India and parts of Pakistan (I'm pretty sure).

If the message was translated from Urdu... the "Iranian Cyber Army" would be an Indian or Pakistani operation.

Just saying...

5. It would be like having the Americans hack sites in China, and brag about it in French...
