Hacking group OurMine takes control of Variety website, spams readers with email
The group of hackers going by the name OurMine managed to briefly take over the website for the entertainment new outlet Variety this weekend. If the name OurMine sounds familiar, it's because the same collective was responsible for hacking social media accounts belonging to high-profile tech CEOs recently, including Twitter's Jack Dorsey, Google's Sundar Pichai, and even Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook.
But unlike your typical hack that simply leaves the victim website defaced with a message of the hackers' achievement, OurMine went a step further and managed to get control of Variety's email system, in turn bombarding subscribers with dozens of copies of the same message.
