From BeCreative Magazine – “This is what we call a fail of epic proportions, if one the worlds most visited sites get hacked, who knows what could happen? A group of hackers that call themselves “Iranian Cyber Army” just got control over Twitter. What will come out of this, we don´t know yet. But I do know that we all will need an explanation.”

This made me think about how governments are in the hacking business too, and how it may be come a form of warfare in the years to come.
