New York: The accounts of Mark Zuckerberg, CEO and co-founder of social media giant Facebook, on Twitter and Pinterest have been reportedly hacked in the past few days. 

A hacker group, named OurMine Team, has claimed to have gained access to his Twitter and Pinterest accounts. 

The group said that it was possible due to the LinkedIn password dump that happened a few weeks ago, technology website VentureBeat reported on Sunday.

OurMine's Twitter account now stands suspended.

"So Twitter suspended our old Twitter. We are trying to get it back if not this account will be the official," OurMine Team tweeted from its new account.

Millions of LinkedIn user account details were leaked online last month and the company reacted by invalidating the credentials and contacting affected members to reset their passwords, the report said.

The hacking of social media accounts came into light when Ben Hall, a software developer, tweeted a screenshot of Zuckerberg’s hacked Pinterest page.
