A group calling itself OurMine prides itself on hacking the social media accounts of high-profile people and companies. They’ve taken over the Twitter, Facebook and Pinterest profiles of well-known businesses, including Netflix,Forbes and BuzzFeed, as well as noteworthy high-tech CEOs, including Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg, Twitter’s Jack Dorsey and Google’s Sundar Pichai. They use their victims’ accounts to post messages like “Hey, it’s OurMine, Don’t worry, we are just testing your security, contact us to tell you more about that.” When contacted by Mashable about what they planned to do with the Netflix Twitter account they’d hijacked, OurMine replied, “We are not planning to do anything with the account.” Evidently, they just like the publicity.
