Facebook CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, had some of his social media accounts hacked by a group called ‘Ourmine’.
Though no harm was done, the group in a tweet said they were just testing Zuckerberg’s security.
“Hey @finkd we got access to your Twitter & Instagram & Pinterest, we are just testing your security, please dm (direct message) us,” they wrote on Twitter.
“Over on Zuckerberg’s Pinterest account, the name was changed to read: ‘Hacked By OurMine Team’.”
The hackers claim to have got Zuckerberg’s password ‘dadada’ in a database of compromised LinkedIn accounts.
LinkedIn’s 2012 breach was significant and embarrassing for the company, and resulted in the theft of millions of passwords and other user information.
The Facebook team have come out to say that no Facebook systems or accounts were accessed and that the affected accounts have been re-secured.
A number of other online services have seen millions of passwords stolen in the past weeks and people have been advised to use a unique, strong password for Twitter and other social media accounts.
