The motive appears to be activism in support of Iran's current Islamic regime. The attack vector was a bad actor using an id and password assigned to Twitter to log in to the <a href="https://dyn.com/user">administrative portal</a> of managed DNS service provider <a href="http://dyn.com/">Dyn</a>.]]></description>
