Twitter.com back online as of 7:08am Friday (GMT) but status.twitter.com still does not resolve.

7:32am Friday (GMT) Status.twitter.com now resolves, but only mentions and unplanned outage and nothing about being hacked.

We are working to recovery from an unplanned downtime and will update more as we learn the cause of this outage.

Update 7:40am Friday (GMT): Twitter’s DNS records were temporarily compromised but have now been fixed. We are looking into the underlying cause and will update with more information soon.
