OurMine Hackers Strike Back After Buzzfeed Story

Another hacking group appears to be retaliating against a media outlet.

Buzzfeed on Tuesday published an investigation into hacking collective OurMine, stating it was likely a sole Saudi teenager who likes to take over the social media accounts of celebrities and tech company CEOs. On Wednesday, someone claiming to be from OurMine defaced and likely deleted several Buzzfeed articles and site’s database, according to a Motherboard report.

Buzzfeed tweeted it was working to restore the altered articles. The company statement didn’t include how attackers accessed its systems, but the group highlights the danger is re-using passwords as it often uses information dumped in large breaches to access other accounts, according to a Wired report.
