What probably became as big a news as the hacking of Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s Pinterest and LinkedIn accounts, was the password that he used for both accounts. As revealed by the hackers, the password was ‘dadada’. The group responsible for the hacking calls itself, OurMine.
In the last few years, the hacking groups that have earned the most fame, or rather, notoriety, have been Anonymous and GhostRec. The last couple of weeks though belonged to the three-man team of OurMine.
The group’s latest target was Google’s CEO Sundar Pichai. They hacked his Quora account and posted several messages from there, mostly informing him about the lack of security on the account and how they could help him improve it. Pichai’s Quora account was linked to his Twitter account, and OurMine posted many messages there too. “Hey, it’s OurMine, we are just testing your security, please visit OurMine to upgrade it,” they tweeted.
OurMine claims that they are a security group. After hacking Pichai’s account they said that they never change any account passwords and only post the messages to indicate that the account can be hacked. For the full article click here
