Twitter Hacked by ‘Iranian Cyber Army’

Posted by Tommy On December - 18 - 2009ADD COMMENTS

Another embarrassment for Twitter.com, it has been hacked again. This time by a group that claims itself to be “Iranian Cyber Army”. Ok, its got a fancy name. And to make things work looks like they have been hacked by group that might be linked to Hezbollah.

Users hoping to find their latest tweets were instead greeted by a black screen with a green flag.

Above the flag, in Arabic, read: “Hezbollah is victorious.”

On the flag, in red Arabic writing: “Yassin” (an Arabic name written in bold) then in smaller Arabic print “the feast of peace.”

Below the flag was more written in Farsi.

In English, the hackers wrote: “This site has been hacked by Iranian Cyber Army. U.S.A think they controlling [sic] and managing internet by their access, but they don’t, we control and manage internet by our power so do not try to stimulation (sic) Iranian People To…..
Now Which Country is embargo list? Iran? Usa?
We push them in embargo list ; )
Take care.”

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu last week was quoted by a senior official as saying, “Using the Internet and Twitter against the Iranian regime is something extraordinary that the U.S. can do.”

There is no evidence at this time that Iran or Hezbollah is behind the attack.

Twitter Changes its Terms of Services

Posted by Riz On September - 15 - 2009ADD COMMENTS

Well, if your one of those who received  Twitter’s new terms of services in your Email Inbox, don’t be shock for that.

Twitter has altered its  Terms of Services and Privacy policy after getting a series of complaints from the user.

Twitter, a social networking website, that is almost used  by whole of the people leaving in various part of the earth has a famous and powerful people into it.  Right from US President Obama to the Hottest and smartest celebrities followed by the People who browse online use  the Twitter service.

Though how much popular it be, Twitter has indeed  been a long victim for Copyright Infringement and  Hackers heaven.  I still remember how   i was unable to login into twitter for many hours , 3 months ago and later twitter posted that it has been attacked by hackers making them to Shut down the website for maintenance for  1 day.

And now, Twitter has  made its  rules stronger and clearer.

1 .   Twitter Basic Terms  says to user that,

Post the content in  Twitter  on your Own risk , which is to say  the user that is posting a  article in twitter might face copyright violation”

This statement  by Twitter clears the air  on the risk of  posting an Content in twitter.

2. Twitter Password:

Here  twitter strongly says to the user to make a best case of  password with the combination of upper, lower, alpha numeric.

The problem is, a user cant remember such a password. This is the real fact :|

3.Content on the Services

Twitter clearly  informs the user  on the issue that  Twitter will not be able to monitor and control the content that a user post.  Twitter  openly admits that  the content  posted  here can be risked for copyright and the user  should post any content on Twitter on his own interest.

4 :The Services are Available “AS-IS”

Now this is the most  important message from Twitter.  Twitter in their terms of conditions clearly states

“our access to and use of the Services or any Content is at your own risk. You understand and agree that the Services is provided to you on an “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” basis. Without limiting the foregoing, TWITTER AND ITS PARTNERS DISCLAIM ANY WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.

Crop circles, Google Earth, and the logo mystery

Posted by Riz On September - 15 - 2009ADD COMMENTS

Crop circles, Google Earth, and the logo mysteryOn Google’s homepage today, the search giant swapped out its normal logo for a UFO-themed Google doodle. The illustrated flying saucer carved out “Goog e” in the corn field, and a little green tractor finishes off the “l.”

Such logo swaps are common for the tech titan, but what are they celebrating? Most of these “doodles” are tied to a particular anniversary or celebrity birthday. Why crop circles? Why today?

To add to the mystery, Google posted the coordinates “51.327629, -0.5616088” in a cryptic Twitter tweet. Curious searchers identified the spot as Horsell, England. Sci-Fi aficionados may recognize the name. In “War of the Worlds,” HG Wells wrote that Horsell residents witnessed the first UFO landing.

This has some Google watchers, including Guardian reporter John Vidal, insisting that the new logo is “almost certainly a viral marketing campaign teasing people ahead of some launch in a week or two. One possible explanation is that it’s trailing an online ‘happening’ that will coincide with the 143rd anniversary of Wells’s birth next week.”

Interesting theory. With people eager for more answers, online searches for “crop circles google earth” hit “volcanic” popularity this morning, according to Google Trends.

While we wait for more information, here’s a little crop-circle fun: YouTube users regularly compile their favorite circle sightings into quick Google Earth videos. Here’s one of the best.

Richard Seymour

Looks like its official now that the Patriots have traded Richard Seymour to Raiders. Well, atleast they have been confirmed by Mike Reiss of the Boston Globe and Adam Schefter of  ESPN have tweeted about it in Twitter.com.

Later The Patriots themselves have confirmed the news again via Twitter. Looks like Twitter is becoming the official platform to pass the news to the masses.

Richard Seymour was drafted by the Patriots in the first round (sixth overall) in the 2001 NFL Draft out of Georgia and has been a part of three Super Bowl Teams. He was named to the Pro Bowl five times in his career (2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006).

Twitter and Facebook the place where bloggers, users hang out was  hacked by hackers for atleast 2 hours this thursday.

Both the Networking sites have not only the users but celebrities , president,sportsperson and many more  Powerful person in the world along with the users.

The hacking was called DOS Denial of service. Though they successfully disrupted the service for few hours, this type of attack wont benefit the hackers in financial way, the experts adds here.

“Attacks such as this are malicious efforts orchestrated to disrupt and make unavailable services such as online banks, credit card payment gateways, and in this case, Twitter for intended customers or users,” said Twitter co-founder Biz Stone on the company’s blog.

The purpose of the attack is unknown but the nearest guess is that, the hackers would have wanted to stop the service for few hours for fun . Or the next possibility can be to show the world how they can tap the biggest site online.

The services resumed in twitter by posting a blog post . Face Book on the other hand reported the crash but said the site was still online.

“No user data was at risk and we have restored full access to the site for most users,” spokeswoman Brandee Barker told the AFP news agency.

“We’re continuing to monitor the situation to ensure that users have the fast and reliable experience they’ve come to expect from Facebook.”

This incident shows us that the hackers can really destroy any type of website.
