Facebook CEO Hacked on Twitter, Pinterest

Facebook Founder and CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, temporarily lost control of both his Twitter and Pinterest accounts some hours ago, after a hacker broke into both, defacing the pages.

According to the hackers, OurMine,  Zuckerberg’s vulnerability  was in re-using passwords. The team said that they found his details in a database of 117 million passwords hacked from social network LinkedIn in 2012, from there, they were able to gain access to his Twitter account, where they tweeted “you were in Linkedin Database … DM for proof”, and his Pinterest account, the name of which they changed to read “Hacked By OurMine Team”. They also alleged to have broken into his Instagram account, but Facebook refutes this saying, “No Facebook systems or accounts were accessed.”

The notorious hackers stated that they hacked into the Facebook's CEO account to test his security. It is so disappointing that despite being a tech savvy CEO of the biggest social media site in the world, Zuckerberg seems to have the same security weaknesses as a lot of us.

Before the hack, Zuckerberg last tweet was traced back to 2012 which still remained intact. Twitter swiftly suspended Zuckerberg's finkd account for a while, but put it up without the offending tweets from the hackers. Pinterest did likewise with his zuck account.

If Zuckerberg’s account could be hacked, don’t even want to imagine how extremely easy it will be for this notorious team and it likes to penetrate into the our accounts. Cyber security is KEY and should be taken SERIOULY.
