Good. This should have been done an hour ago. Fortunately the attackers weren't nearly as malicious as they could have been.

They can still RT.

@TheRegister (verified) just RT'd for help.

Honestly I'm kind of enjoying seeing what it is doing to my feed with only unverified accounts and verified retweets. Twitter hasn't been this much fun in months.

Some accounts are back again: https://twitter.com/TwitterSupport/status/128356244619659673...

can confirm - my wife has a verified account and a company account and both are unable to tweet, though one can still quote retweet apparently, but probably just a lagging feature flag.
