ZUCKERBERG HACKED 

Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg's Pinterest and Twitter accounts have been hacked.

Saudi-based group OurMine claimed responsibility, using Zuckerberg's own accounts to post messages.

The group claims it found his password 'dadada' in the recent leaks of the LinkedIn in password dump from 2012, in which usernames and passwords associated with more than 160 million accounts were compromised.

Mr Hall wrote: 'Ouch. Mark Zuckerberg's social media accounts have been hacked.'

According to Sky News, the group claimed it had accessed the accounts to 'test security', with a tweet, now deleted, reading: 'Hey we got access to your Twitter & Instagram & Pinterest, we are just testing your security, please direct message us.'

The Twitter account @finkd, which was created in February 2009, has more than 414,000 followers, but only has 19 tweets associated with it. 

While the Pinterest account @Zuck has more than 13,000 followers and 700,000 five star reviews associated with it.

OurMine, whose own Twitter account has been suspended, have claimed responsibility for a number of high-profile hacks on YouTube, including Markiplier.
