Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg's Twitter and Pinterest accounts hacked by OurMine Team

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s social accounts such as Twitter and Pinterest have been hacked. However, Instagram was not accessed. Hacked by OurMine Team, they claim that they were able to access his accounts, thanks to the Linkedin data breach which took place in May, where in about 117 million people's accounts were at risk.

At the time of hack, the team wrote from Zuckerberg’s Twitter page, “Hey @finkd, you were in Linkedin Database with the password ‘dadada’!” On Pinterest, his new title was “Hacked by OurMine Team.” The hackers also claim to have breached Zuckerberg’s Instagram claiming it was “just testing your security” but a report by VentureBeat confirms that his Instagram account was not hacked. The report noted that Twitter was quick to suspend his account.

A Facebook spokesperson told VentureBeat in a statement, “No Facebook systems or accounts were accessed. The affected accounts have been re-secured.”

The LinkedIn breach is believed to be caused by a hacker named Peace, who claims to have stolen the passwords of 360 million Myspace users.
