Zuckerberg's social media accounts hacked

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg's social-media accounts were hijacked late Sunday, with the attackers posting messages from them showing off their access.

Thankfully his Facebook account was not affected.

The hacker(s) managed to get into Zuckerberg's Twitter and Pinterest accounts, and they also claimed to have broken into his Instagram account, though Facebook denied this to VentureBeat and there doesn't seem to be any evidence of it.

The hackers have also revealed his password - "dadada."

 It looks as if Zuck made a basic security mistake: He reused passwords.

The 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 Mr 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:

Zuckerberg isn't a big Twitter user. He sent his most recent tweet in 2012, and the rogue tweets sent by the hackers have since been deleted.
