I'd put much higher odds on this being some disgruntled teen, who may or may not be Persian and may or may not be in Iran -- you know, like 99.9% of website defacements.
Do you really think the focus of a cyber ops campaign or anti-competitive campaign would be ... to put a stupid message on Twitter's website? There are no doubt cyber ops teams in foreign (and domestic, naturally) intelligence, but they don't waste their time on shit like this.
- moron4hire 17y agoWell, #iranelection was the #1 most popular news topic on Twitter in 2009, according to their blog (http://blog.twitter.com/search/label/2009 http://blog.twitter.com/search/label/2009), so there is an actual motive available.
- metachor 17y agoRegardless of the presence of motive, the execution (i.e. juvenile website defacement) doesn't exactly imply high-level cyber ops. And an easily fixed DNS hijack isn't really going to "take twitter out of commission" or whatever the purpose of this supposed cyber attack would be.
