The news today (June 6) that Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Facebook, and therefore one of the most tech-savvy people, has been hacked, should be a wake-up call for anyone using multiple web services with the same password.
A group called 'OurMine' claimed they were able to access Zuckerberg's accounts thanks to the Linkedin data breach.
In a twitter post, the group tweeted Zuckerberg: "Hey @finkd we got access to your Twitter & Instagram & Pinterest, we are just testing your security, please dm us."
The hacker(s) managed to get into his Twitter and Pinterest accounts. Zuck used the same {terrible} password [dadada] on Twitter and Pinterest.
Don't want to make the same mistake as Zuck? Security experts recommend that you create a different, strong password for each account you have. That way, if one account gets compromised, the others aren't too
