Facebook's Twitter account hacked

‘Well, even Facebook is hackable but at least their security better than Twitter’

Facebook’s Twitter account appears to have been hacked.

A post appeared on Facebook’s official Twitter profile shortly after 11.30pm which said: “Hi, we are O u r M i n e. Well, even Facebook is hackable but at least their security better than Twitter.

“to improve your accounts security

“Contact us: contact@o u r m i n e .org

“For security services visit: o u r m i n e. org”

The post was quickly deleted but the same message reappeared within seconds two more times.

The Independent has contacted both Facebook and Twitter for comment.

Ourmine is a hacker/security group that has previously hijacked the Twitter account of Jack Dorsey, the company’s chief executive. It used its access to post a string of Vine videos it had created using the tech founder’s account on that app.

It has also claimed credit for taking down the hugely popular Pokemon Go app in 2016, and Netflix’s Twitter account in the same year.

Other victims include the NFL, Mark Zuckerberg, Wikileaks and Sundar Pichai, of Alphabet.
