Mark Zuckerberg hacked account reinstated

Yesterday Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg's twitter and Pinterest acoount have been allegedly hacked. Later, Zuckerberg's Twitter and Pinterest accounts were compromised over the weekend, according to a report on Sunday from technology news website.

Those accounts have since been "re-secured using best practices," a Facebook spokesman told media, adding, "no Facebook systems or accounts were accessed."

Zuckerberg's Twitter account, @finkd, last used in January 2012, posted a tweet on Sunday with the message, "Hey, @finkd You were in LinkedIn Datatbase with the password 'dadada' ! DM (direct message) for proof," according to a screenshot posted to Twitter by Ben Hall (@Ben_Hall), founder of Katacoda, an interactive learning platform for software developers.

The tweet appeared to ask Zuckerberg to contact the sender, who claimed to have accessed his account.

"Hey , we are just testing your security ,please dm (direct message) us for contact! twitter: twitter.com/_OurMine_," the compromised page said in a message that seemingly identified the hackers as being associated with the linked Twitter account.
