Facebook’s Twitter account was hijacked by the same group that hacked a bunch of NFL accounts
San Francisco: Facebook’s official account was hacked on Twitter and Instagram on Saturday. Twitter itself issued a statement and informed about this. It said that Facebook’s official account was targeted from a third party platform. It is being described as the hand of a cyber criminal organization called ‘Ourmine Group’. The organization has hacked the accounts of Google CEO Sundar Pichai, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Twitter chief Jack Dorsey.
Hackers hacked Facebook’s account on Instagram in a similar manner and also posted a group photo to him. It wrote, “We belong to our mine group. Facebook can also be hacked. But its security is better than Twitter. “
Twitter did not reveal which third party platform Facebook account was hacked from. However, it is believed that Khoros was a social media management tool.
