The augmented reality game, Pokémon Go that gained popularity within a short span after its launch in the United States, Australia and New Zealand a couple of days ago, and is now officially launched in Canada on Sunday.

While people all around are going crazy about the game, a group of hackers attacked the Pokémon Go Servers on Saturday. And on the same day, the mobile gaming sensation was launched in 26 new European countries. Leaving Pokémon trainers furious this is the second time servers were down.

Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey’s account was hacked

The Hacking group called OurMine has worked for hours to bring down the Pokémon Go Login servers with a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack. The group claimed that the attack would be stopped only if the representatives from Pokémon Go Communicate with them. The group in a web post wrote - “No one will be able to play this game till Pokémon Go contact us on our website to teach them how to protect it!”

OurMine has been popular for hacking the Twitter accounts of celebs and tech leaders. With such attacks, the group which consists of three teenagers is usually advertising its security services. In recent past, the team was successful in accessing the Sundar Pichai and Jack Dorsey’s accounts.

A member of OurMine explained - “We don’t want other hackers to attack their servers, so we should protect their servers.”The wildly popular game that allows players to find the pocket monsters in the real world struggled to log in the game earlier also. It was when the servers crashed, due to the games’ overwhelming demand. And it is not just the OurMine group which claimed to attack the game; another group called Poodle Corp., on Twitter claimed responsibility for DDoSing the Pokémon Go servers which are not yet verified.

Now a day’s nothing seems to be inevitable for hackers, even the CEO of Twitter can’t escape from becoming a prey of these invaders. Jack Dorsey joins the expanding list of High profile CEO’s whose social networking accounts are hacked.

A group of hackers under the name OurMine had hacked Dorsey’s Twitter account and posted few benign videos. The hacker tweeted “Hey, it’s OurMine, we are testing your security” from Jack’s account. It all happened at 2:50 AM ET and they linked the tweet to their website.

Twitter was quick to react and deleted those tweets within a short time. The attackers actually posted these messages via Dorsey’s Vine account which they have used a source to get access to the Twitter account.

Jack Dorsey probably had an old/shared password on his Vine account which may link it to another service that was compromised. Another reason for this incident can be Dorsey is using the same Vine’s password for a long time.

It had given a way for intruders to get into the company’s CEO account. It’s the same technique that OurMine had followed in its previous hacks of other famous people.

Whatever may be the reason Hackers proved that even high profiled people’s social networking accounts are not 100% secured.

This issue seems to be growing and is increasing user’s privacy concerns. Social networking platforms should find a permanent solution to these type of problems. On user’s part, everyone should follow some basic steps to prevent these hacks. Make sure you’re using a different password for every site, if you are unable to do you can use password managers like 1Password or LastPass.

Frequently update passwords of all your accounts and most importantly turn on two-factor authentication for services that have it. This authentication method sends a pin number via text message to your linked mobile number.

The same group named as OurMine were behind the hacks of social media accounts of Google and Facebook’s CEOs.
