Twitter’s Web site is being run over by hackers exploiting a mouse over flaw. 
Sophos has detailed the flaw and recommends that you use third party software to Tweet. Indeed, I found out the hard way that Twitter’s site is a mess right now. Also added Hopefully Twitter will shut down this loophole as soon as possible - disallowing users to post the onMouseOver JavaScript code, and protecting users whose browsing may be at risk. - Sophos from Znet Blog Posting


It seems that only Twitter's website has been hacked but you can still tweet your messages via different 3rd party software like iPhone's Twitter Interface or Other 3rd Party Twitter Software
