Another one bites the dust, as a hacker group manages to briefly gain access to Google CEO Sundar Pichai’s Quora account. “We are just testing your security,” tweeted the Hacker group OurMine from Pichai’s account, linking it to a Quora post in his name with the same title. Unfortunately for Pichai, the crack also gave the group access to his Twitter account, letting them easily take the incident public. However, while this might be summarily overlooked in light of Zuckerberg’s recent hacking, the method to hijack Pichai’s account is a lot more worrisome. Neither OurMine nor Quora has elaborated on what the exploit is, so it’s probably best to err on the side of caution.
