Google CEO Sundar Pichai’s Quora account has been hacked by the same group which previously broke into Facebook boss Mark Zuckerberg’s Twitter and Pinterest accounts, according to a media report on Monday. The hacker group called OurMine Team has been posting messages on Quora through Mr. Pichai’s account. The breach of his account became apparent when tweets linking to his Quora posts appeared on his official Twitter account on Sunday. Mr. Pichai or perhaps his team, however regained control of the Quora account soon, and the tweets were deleted within few hours. The hacker group initially wrote, ‘hacked’ using his account.
