TweetDeck Has Been Hacked ... Please, close now Tweetdeck, it's not safe," and "HACKED," among others

If you are having issues logging into tweetdeck today just know that some jobless mad men HACKED TWEETDECK TODAY.....Take a look at the screen shots above :(

Uh oh. 

TweetDeck temporarily shut down today after a "security issue" prompted strange pop-up messages and unintended retweets from users' Twitter accounts. 

Users of the social media-managing program reported seeing pop-up messages that read, "Yo!" "Please, close now Tweetdeck, it's not safe," and "HACKED," among others. 

After first telling users to log out and then log back on, TweetDeck said it was temporarily disabling the service to assess the issue. 

The attack reportedly affected many high-profile Twitter accounts including media outlets @NYTimesBusiness, @BBCBreaking, @SFGate. 

We've temporarily taken TweetDeck services down to assess today's earlier security issue. We'll update when services are back up.
