Facebook chief’s Twitter, Pinterest accounts reportedly hacked
(June 13th, 2016) In what has caused some chuckling, Facebook Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg's Twitter and Pinterest accounts have been resecured, after media reports that the social-media mogul's sites had been hacked. VentureBeat said that Mr. Zuckerberg's Twitter and Pinterest accounts were compromised over the weekend. Perhaps most interesting is that the nature of the bogus tweet sent from Mr. Zuckerberg's Twitter account on Sunday suggests that the alleged hackers may have gained access to the account by using the same password associated with his LinkedIn profile. Sloppy computer hygiene by Mr. Zuckerberg? For more information, hit this link.
