WASHINGTON, June 6 (UPI) — Several of Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg‘s social media accounts were briefly hacked by people who were “just testing your security.”
The OurMine Team of hackers breached Zuckerberg’s Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest and Twitter accounts Sunday. Facebook told Engadget that Zuckerberg’s Instagram account was not compromised.
Instagram is the only social media service other than Facebook that is owned by Zuckerberg. The Twitter account associated with the OurMine Team has been suspended.
“Hey, we are just testing your security, please DM us for contact!” the hackers wrote on Zuckerberg’s Pinterest account.
It is unclear whether the hack was related to the 2012 LinkedIn password security breach, of which thousands of stored passwords were revealed last month.
Although the OurMine Team defaced some of Zuckerberg’s accounts, seemingly Pinterest and Twitter, the accounts were quickly brought back under control.
