It’s now the third time of this year that Mark Zuckerberg has had his Pinterest account hacked once again. Members of the group ‘OurMine’ are now claiming the credit for the attack again.

Mark Zuckerberg’s social accounts are now hacked by this group two times in a row. In June, OurMine first hacked and gained access to his Twitter and the same Pinterest accounts.

The hacking attack in June was believed to be the consequence of password re-use. Before you think any further, Yes!, even the giant tech CEOs can fall for password fatigue.

OurMine reportedly used credentials that were exposed in a massive LinkedIn hack that resulted in information leak of more than 117 million people.

Mark Zuckerberg isn’t the only prominent tech personality which has victimized by OurMine. Other CEOs including Marissa Meyer of Yahoo, Sundar Pichai of Google, and Uber’s Travis Kalanick have had their accounts hacked by the same group. OurMine also has claimed responsibility for attacks on Buzzfeed and Variety earlier this year.
