Zuckerberg’s social media accounts targeted

DHAKA: He might run the world’s biggest social networking site, but not even Mark Zuckerberg 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, the BBC reports on Monday (June 6).

A hacker group called Ourmine, which has more than 40,000 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 screengrab of the alleged hack of the Facebook chief executive’s Twitter account.

The Twitter account has since had the offending tweets deleted. Zuckerberg has not sent a tweet from the account since 2012.

Developer Ben Hall tweeted a screenshot of Zuckerberg’s ‘hacked’ Pinterest page.
