It seems that Mark Zuckerberg, the Facebook co-founder, and CEO didn’t have a great weekend as both of his Twitter and Pinterest account have been hacked and defaced by a hacker having the name OurMine.
If rumors are to be believed, Mark has the habit of re-using passwords and this is what led to the hackers tweeting from his account! They tweeted “you were in Linkedin Database….DM for proof” and also changed his Pinterest account name to “Hacked By OurMine Team”.
How OurMine Team dragged such a nice hack is actually surprising, but all thanks goes to the ‘LinkedIn password dump’ which is happening since a few weeks. This further opened the gateway for millions of LinkedIn user account details being leaked. The company reacted by invalidating the authorisations and contacting affected members to reset their passwords with immediate effect.
The hackers also claimed to have broken Zuckerberg’s Insta account but the rumors are denied by Facebook stating, “No Facebook systems or accounts were accessed”.
Hackers also revealed that common LinkedIn & Twitter password of Mark Zuckerberg was ‘dadada’ !

Zuckerberg didn’t use his twitter account for four years. This is his last post:-
Yes, this is the real Mark Zuckerberg. Thanks for following me!

It signifies one fact that the 31 years old CEO of Facebook is, after all, a Mango people (Aam-Aadmi) who has common practices of using the same password whether he is a college goer or the ‘Pro’ Co-founder of Facebook!
