It is a bad start of Google’s CEO Sundar Pichai. His Quora account has been hacked by a group called OurMine. This group was also responsible for breaking into Mark Zuckerberg’s Twitter and Pinterest accounts earlier this month.
They broke in Sundar Pichai’s Quora account which was also connected to his Twitter account. So, hackers were able to post their hack to his Twitter followers. Tweets have been deleted but we managed to take the screenshot.
At the time of writing this article, the account has been restored to normal.
OurMine is trying to become a security firm to offer security-related services. With these hacking attempts, it is trying to gain some popularity to boost its business initially.
OurMine also responded to The Next Web. They told the publication that they do not want to do anything wrong. They just check the security to inform the company and person about the issue.
They also confirmed that Quora is vulnerable and they reported this vulnerability with no response. If this is true, Quora should take this seriously and patch the vulnerability as soon as possible.
