Attackers Break Into Mark Zuckerberg’s Twitter, Pinterest

Mark Zuckerberg, contrary to what you might think, is but a mere mortal. Yes, he runs Facebook and has a large amount of influence over your online life
And, yes, he still has his accounts hacked just like everyone else if he doesn’t use strong password security (or other measures, like two-factor authentication, that help thwart would-be attackers). According to reports, the hacking group OurMine Team has taken responsibility for breaking into Zuckerberg’s Twitter and Pinterest accounts this weekend.
Zuckerberg likely doesn’t use either very much since, you know, Facebook and all. Still, one would think he (or his assistants) would employ stronger security measures in place to stop anyone with a password from getting in.
the attackers claim that Zuckerberg’s password was one of more than a hundred million obtained by an attacker in a 2012 LinkedIn hack. As Motherboard previously reported, these user names and encrypted passwords were allegedly easy for hackers to figure out.
As VentureBeat notes, Twitter was quick to suspend Zuckerberg’s account. It has since been restored
