Even Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg is not safe from cyber attackers.
連臉書創(chuàng)始人馬克·扎克伯格都遭遇了網(wǎng)絡(luò)攻擊。
Zuckerberg’s Twitter, LinkedIn and Pinterest profiles were briefly hacked over the weekend. His Facebook and Instagram accounts were not involved, Facebook officials said.
上周末扎克伯格的推特、領(lǐng)英和Pinterest的個人簡況都被短暫性地黑了。臉書官方稱,他的臉書和照片分享賬號并未被攻擊。
A group calling itself OurMine Team said it attacked the three accounts on Sunday, according to the website TechCrunch. The accounts were quickly restored.
據(jù)TechCrunch網(wǎng)站報道,一個自稱“OurMine Team”的組織聲稱他們周日攻擊了這三個賬號。這三個賬號被很快恢復了。
Twitter says a Twitter account used by the hackers to post messages was suspended. A website called Engadget captured messages posted by the hackers to Zuckerberg’s personal Twitter account.
推特稱他們封了一個被黑客們用來發(fā)布訊息的推特賬號。一個叫“癮科技”的網(wǎng)站捕捉到了黑客們發(fā)到扎克伯格個人推特賬號的消息。
“We are just testing your security,” said one message posted by the hackers to the billionaire’s Twitter profile. Zuckerberg had not posted anything to his Twitter account since 2012.
“我們只是在測試你的安全。”黑客們發(fā)到這位億萬富翁的推特簡況中的一條消息稱。2012年以來扎克伯格未在他的推特賬號中發(fā)布任何消息。
Business networking site LinkedIn confirmed Monday that the Facebook founder’s data was compromised, The New York Times reported. The company said the hackers attempted to create a false profile for Zuckerberg.
據(jù)紐約時報報道,商務社交網(wǎng)站領(lǐng)英周一確認臉書創(chuàng)始人的數(shù)據(jù)被盜了。該公司稱黑客們試圖為扎克伯格創(chuàng)建一個虛假簡況。
“We were alerted of this takeover attempt and have taken action to remove the false profile on LinkedIn,” said a statement, the newspaper reported.
該報報道,領(lǐng)英公司的發(fā)言人稱“我們收到有關(guān)此篡改意圖的提醒,已經(jīng)采取行動除去領(lǐng)英上的虛假簡況”。
The hackers also posted what they claimed was the password used for Zuckerberg’s LinkedIn account.
黑客們還發(fā)布了他們聲稱用于扎克伯格領(lǐng)英賬號的密碼。
But LinkedIn did not say if the attacks on Zuckerberg’s social media accounts were part of a large data breach at the company in 2012. That leak, of emails and passwords, affected more than 100 million LinkedIn accounts.
但是領(lǐng)英并未說明對于扎克伯格社交媒體賬號的攻擊是否源于2012年該公司的一個大的數(shù)據(jù)缺口。那次郵件和密碼的泄露使1億多個領(lǐng)英賬號受到了影響。
Internet security experts suggest that users change their passwords often to keep accounts safe. They also warn users not to use the same passwords for different social media accounts.
網(wǎng)絡(luò)安全專家建議用戶經(jīng)常改變密碼以保證賬戶安全。他們還警告用戶不要在不同的社交媒體賬號上使用同一個密碼。
