OurMine is back to its old tricks and this time it played mischief with the Twitter handles of Netflix’s US account and the associated accounts of Marvel Entertainment.
The hacking team posted a message on Netflix’s Twitter account saying, “Hey, it’s OurMine, Don’t worry we are just testing your security, contact us to tell you more about that contactourmineteam@gmail.com.” The group posted a similar message on the Twitter accounts of Marvel Entertainment and Captain America as well.
Soon after OurMine posted the message, Marvel took control of its Twitter account and deleted all the related tweets. Though we were able to get hold of the message posted by the hacker, thanks to the screenshots captured by the Twitterati.
