Were you affected with Twitter's hack?

 

Twitter was hacked today, September 21st, 2010. It affected users using the web version of twitter, twitter.com.
If the user moved their mouse over a link on www.twitter.com it will activate a popup and even take some to porn sites.

However, it did not affect users with the new version of twitter, but it did affect Windows and Mac users.

As of 10am this morning, Twitter released a statemen through their @Safety feed  saying that
the attack has been "fully patched" and no longer works. Twitter is safe again!
