Netflix services appear to be down, and their Twitter account appears to have been hacked.

What makes you believe their Twitter account has been hacked?

Particularly this tweet seems to prove otherwise: https://twitter.com/Netflixhelps/status/1006294473645715457

Official [netflix twitter](https://twitter.com/NETFLIX) looks normal, but the site is down hard for me (503 & 504 errors) in Amsterdam.

I thought it seemed strange that during the last hour while their services have been down, their twitter has been giving away all these weird coupons that seem to have nothing to do with Netflix.
