Pokemon Go Creator Hacked (Twitter account)

Twitter account of another high-profile CEO has been hacked!

This time, it's Niantic CEO John Hanke, the developer behind the world's most popular gamePokémon GO.

And it seems like Hanke is so busy with its newly launched game Pokémon GO that he hasn't noticed or took any measures against it even after over 12 hours of the hack, as the tweets made by hackers are still displaying on his Twitter timeline (at the time of writing).

And Niantic CEO's Twitter Password Was...

Another tweet claimed that Hanke's password was "nopass."

Hacker claims it is testing out the security of accounts and teaching people to secure their online accounts better, though it also offers its support to those it targets, charging up to $5,000 for a "scan" of their social media accounts, site security holes, and other security flaws.

The hacks of high-profile CEOs social media accounts could be due to recent mega breaches in LinkedIn, MySpace, and Tumblr that exposed almost one billion credentials.
