Anyone having trouble with their twitter accounts? None of mine are working, they are supposedly under a DOS attack right now.
 


Down goes Twitter

-Everybody pretty much knows this has happened, but in my opinion the Iranian gov't could be behind it.

They're the only ones that I think have a motive.

They tried their best to shut down the internet and hackers were able to get in there and get them access to Twitter.

And then this morning, down goes Twitter around the same time that Ahmadinejad is to be sworn in.

Many of the citizens are already pissed off about the election results and now they have to watch him be sworn in.

I'm not saying it's the Iranian Gov't for sure, but if I had to put money on it, that'd be my best bet.


I've always been intrigued with hacker news.:yin-yang:

More theories welcome,
