However, on its website, it offers commercial services including testing social media and email accounts for vulnerabilities.Īll things considered, WWE got off extremely lucky. The group insists it is only testing security. “It is linked to all of WWE Superstars accounts - Twitter and Facebook.” “We just hacked it using the head of WWE social media account,” a representative said. Mashable managed to get a quote from an OurMine representative, which did indeed take credit for the simultaneous hacks, including the WrestleMania and SummerSlam accounts … and the official John Cena account. The entity that took credit for the tweets, OurMine, is a hacker group that according to Wikipedia, “uses hacks of celebrity internet accounts to advertise their commercial services.” In the past, they’ve hacked the accounts of co-founders of Wikipedia and Twitter, the creator of Pokemon GO, and Mark Zuckerberg. These were the tweets that appeared on the WWE Universe and NXT accounts, and both remained up as the top tweet on both accounts for the better part of an hour, until they were finally deleted without comment and business returned to normal on the accounts. Within an hour after NXT TakeOver: San Antonio, some strange tweets popped up on a couple of WWE owned and operated Twitter accounts, including the official NXT account and the WWE Universe account, which is the “official fan account” that operates as a parallel Twitter feed to the main WWE account most of the time, with the two accounts often cross-retweeting each other during live coverage of events and so forth. There has, however, been one small blemish on the weekend. They had yet another very well-received NXT TakeOver event on Saturday night, and interest in Sunday’s Royal Rumble pay-per-view is definitely high, especially as no one seems to have any idea who is going to win the top matches on the card. It’s Royal Rumble weekend, and WWE is riding a huge high right now.
