A group by the name of OurMine &ndash; the same group that claimed credit for compromising Facebook chief Mark Zuckerberg&rsquo;s social media accounts on Monday &ndash; took credit for hacking Williams&rsquo; account in a tweet on Wednesday, which was deleted minutes later, technology website Mashable reported on Thursday.
The company released a statement later saying it does not comment on individual accounts. &ldquo;A number of other online services have seen millions of passwords stolen in the past several weeks. We recommend people use a unique, strong password for Twitter,&rdquo; the company was quoted as saying.
In 2015, Twitter&rsquo;s chief financial officer and head of Twitter Ventures, Anthony Noto&rsquo;s account was hacked that resulted in many spam messages.
