Hacked sony music account spreads britney spears death

Some Twitter accounts related to Sony Music were apparently accessed by hacker group OurMine this morning. The handles for Sony Music Global and Bob Dylan tweeted that Britney Spears was dead shortly after 8AM ET. “britney spears is dead by accident! we will tell you more soon,” the @SonyMusicGlobal account read before the tweets were deleted. A rep for Spears confirmed to CNN that the singer was, in fact, still alive

OurMine is well known for breaking into accounts like these, and in this manner. In 2016 alone the group accessed everything from Google CEO Sundar Pichai’s Quora account, to Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s social media accounts, to Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey’s own Twitter account. OurMine also got ahold of BuzzFeed’s website in October shortly after the outlet ran a story that probed for the identities of the hackers. And just last week the hackers accessed the Twitter accounts of Netflix and Marvel.


Sony’s movie division was famously hacked in 2014 — a breach so big that the studio is still wrestling with the fallout. So take some time this holiday break to secure your accounts.


In 2016, they hacked the Twitter accounts of Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales, Pokémon Go creator John Hanke, Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey,Google CEO Sundar Pichai, and Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg, whose Pinterest was also hacked. In addition to social media accounts, the group has hacked the website TechCrunch.

In October 2016, BuzzFeed published an article linking the OurMine group to a Saudi Arabian teenager using the name Ahmad Makki on social media. OurMine denied the allegations, claiming that Makki was only a "fan" of the group. One day after the article's publication, OurMine infiltrated BuzzFeed's website and altered the content of several posts to read "Hacked By OurMine".
