This is a screenshot of what Twitter looked like at around 1AM Eastern Standard Time. (Sorry for the duplicate post, but I realized it's better to link to the screenshot of Twitter than Twitter itself, which is down at the moment.)

 mowjcamp was apparently a reformist overseas-based website that was hacked in the same way. http://research.scottrade.com/public/markets/news/news.asp?docKey=100-350n6962-1&section=headlines http://research.scottrade.com/public/markets/news/news.asp?d... http://mowjcamp.com http://mowjcamp.com

 The lack of respect for modern web standards and accessibility here is shocking. No alt tags? All in-line styles with no CSS? And no XHTML? Shame on them.

  You're calling out that a search for "indian cyber army" is performed more often than one for "iranian cyber army"?
