Zuckerberg hacked

The BBC has an article by Chris Johnston about hacking:


He might run the world's biggest social networking site, but not even Mark Zuckerberg (photo) is immune to being hacked.
The Facebook founder's accounts on sites, including Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Pinterest appear to have been briefly compromised on Sunday.
A hacker group called Ourmine, which has more than forty thousand Twitter followers, claimed responsibility. The group bragged about the alleged hacks in a tweet and invited Zuckerberg to contact them.
"Hey @finkd we got access to your Twitter & Instagram & Pinterest, we are just testing your security, please dm us."
Engadget posted a screen grab of the alleged hack of the Facebook chief executive's Twitter account:
 
The Twitter account has since had the offending tweets deleted, and Zuckerberg has not sent a tweet from the account since 2012.
The BBC understands that Facebook's security systems prevented Zuckerberg's Instagram account from being accessed. The photo-sharing service is owned by Facebook.
Some reports suggested that the 2012 hack of LinkedIn may have been responsible for the breach. Last month it was reported that over a hundred million LinkedIn username and password combinations stolen four years ago were being sold on the dark web for five bitcoins, worth over two thousand dollars. The passwords were encoded, but in a form that appears to have been relatively easy to unravel.
The account, on which he has posted just thirty images, has more than six hundred thousand followers.
Rico says he's still voting for dismembering hackers, live on the Web...
