    Default Twitter Security Compromised

    TechCrunch reports that Twitter was hacked by a group called the "Iranian Cyber Army." Although Twitter is now back up, the company has acknowledged that there was a security breach.

    Update 3.: It is suggested that if you use the same password on your Twitter account with other accounts, now would be a good time to change your password on those other accounts.
    I would hope the Twitter passwords were all encrypted, but after the Bottle Domains security breach, I suppose we shouldn't assume anything!
