Google CEO Sundar Pichai’s Quora account hacked

Google CEO Sundar Pichai’s Quora account has been hacked. Pichai’s account seems to have been hacked by the same hacker group who recently broke into Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s Twitter and Pinterest accounts.

The reportedly three-man hacker group called OurMine posted several messages on Pichai’s Quora account. Also, since the India-born Google CEO’s page is linked to his Twitter account, hackers could publicize the hack to all his 508,000 followers on the microblogging platform. The tweets have now been removed.

The hacker group OurMine is believed to be aiming to rebrand itself as security firm. In the tweets informing Pichai’s Twitter followers about the hacking too, the group says, “Hey, it’s OurMine, we are just testing your security, please visit OurMine to upgrade it.”

The group told The Next Web website that it was only testing the security of all celebrity accounts it hacked into. “We are just testing people security (sic), we never change their passwords, we did it because there is other hackers can hack them and change everything,” the group told The Next Web.
