A group of hackers called OurMine hijacked some of Facebook's official Twitter and Instagram accounts over the weekend through a third-party social media management service.
The hackers briefly hijacked the Twitter accounts of Facebook and its Messenger application, and the Instagram accounts of Facebook and Facebook Messenger.
"Some of our corporate social accounts were briefly hacked but we have secured and restored access," Facebook wrote on Twitter.
OurMine managed to hack the social media accounts of many high-profile individuals and organizations in the past years, including Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, Google CEO Sundar Pichai, and PlayStation.
One of their most recent operations targeted the Twitter, Facebook and Instagram accounts of over a dozen NFL teams.
