If you use the same password on all social networks, then this article is for you.
On the 5 day of May, the accounts of Facebook's founder, Mark Zuckerberg, were invaded. All this thanks to a LinkedIn password theft in 2012.
The accounts affected were:
- Twitter (twitter.com/finkd),
- Pinterest (pinterest.com/zuck)
- LinkedIn (linkedin.com/in/mark-zuckerberg).
As expected, these accounts were not actively used by Mark Zukerberg, who concentrated his activities on his network of choice, at facebook.com/zuck.
After normalizing everything, the invasion records were deleted from all profiles, the Twitter account of the group that claimed the attack was suspended.
Some news circulated indicating that Zuckerberg's Instagram account had also been hacked, but Facebook has already clarified the issue:
No Facebook account or system has been accessed. The affected accounts were recovered and protected using proven security practices - said a Facebook spokesman.
If you use the same passwords for all services, it's time to think twice and add more security to your accounts. This invasion was made by a team of hackers known by username OurMine, who got Zuckerberg's passwords through a database of 117 million passwords that were obtained from LinkedIn in 2012
Here are some useful tips for staying safe on the internet.
