This Sunday, the founder of Facebook had their Twitter accounts, Pinterest and LinkedIn invaded by undue users. It is suspected the successful may be related to a password leak of LinkedIn that happened in 2012.
Mark Zuckerberg was not the only one to suffer “twitterjacking”. In recent days, several celebrities have had their Twitter accounts hacked. Katy Perry, Keith Richards, Tenancious D, Kylie Jenner and Ryan Dunn are just a few examples. It is not right that these cases are related, but it is at least suspected the coincidence of the same.
June 5, 2015, LinkedIn was attacked by Russian hackers. At the time, about 6.5 million encrypted passwords were posted online and LinkedIn never made clear how many users were affected truth. Today it is suspicious that the same attack was much higher. In May, Motherboard site found a sale to the database in an online black market with 117 million email addresses and passwords. The hacker, who goes by the Peace name and that he was trying to sell the database for 5 bitcoins (about $ 2,200), told the same publication that the accessions were achieved in the 2012 attack.
the password Mark Zuckerberg may be one of many to include in this new database. Probably the Facebook CEO used the same password on multiple sites (a big mistake), there have had their Twitter, Pinterest and LinkedIn hacked at once. The attack will be done by a group of hackers called Ourmine and had more than 40,000 followers on Twitter before your account has been deleted on Monday morning.
Engadget got screenshots Twitter Zuckerberg hacked. The founder of the Facebook does not share anything in this social network since 2012. Its Pinterest is also the flies.
