HBO Investigating Twitter Hack In Latest Cyber Breach.


The latest attack saw HBO's Twitter page hacked by a team responsible for breaching the accounts of Netflix and Mark Zuckerberg.

Several HBO Twitter accounts sent a message on Wednesday night purporting to be OurMine hackers, responsible for attacks on Netflix and Facebook creator Mark Zuckerberg.
Twitter accounts from shows such as Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, Veep and Vinyl all tweeted a message saying: "Hi, OurMine are here, we are just testing your security, HBO team please contact us to upgrade the security".

HBO regained control of the accounts within less than an hour, and is now investigating the hack.
OurMine is a group of hackers that claimed to have gained control of several social media accounts of important people, including Google's chief executive and the co-founder of Wikipedia.
The latest hack comes as HBO has been the victim of numerous attacks by hackers and inside leaks.
