A hacking group claimed responsibility for the breach online accounts of Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, for the second time this year.
On Tuesday, the hacking group known as OurMine announced that they had broken the Pinterest account used by Zuckerberg. To prove this, they uploaded a new message to the account containing the group's web address.
So the "resume" of the Pinterest account said: "Don't worry, we're just doing security tests."
The message left by hackers in Mark Zuckerberg's account within a few minutes was removed.
The OurMine team is well-known for targeting high profile users, such as managing directors of companies, and technology executives in general. Hackers tend to distort their online accounts by adding their group name and a contact address.
As they have mentioned in previous hacks, they hope that by doing so, they will lead their victims to contact them for tips security. OR by clicking here of the group, moreover, states that it offers security services.
Οι hackers ανακοίνωσαν το hack μέσω ηλεκτρονικού ταχυδρομείου σε συντάκτη του ZDNet, παρέχοντας το nick name του Zuckerberg και τον κωδικό πρόσβασης που χρησιμοποιεί στο Twitter. Φυσικά το ZDNet δεν δημοσίευσε τα δεδομένα για ευνόητους λόγους.
The group said the Facebook chief had turned on authentication two factors after the first hack done by them earlier this year. According to the hackers, the phone number used in the account ends in "86".
The hackers said they also said their Twitter password was the former Gmail password used by Zuckerberg, which changed six months ago.
Of course, ZDNet did not verify the above data as it would violate existing legislation.
