New York (CNN Business) Facebook's official social media accounts appear to have been hacked by a group that has previously compromised accounts belonging to HBO, the New York Times and, most recently, the NFL and a number of its football teams. A spokesperson for Twitter confirmed that two of Facebook's accounts, @Facebook and @Messenger, were hacked through a third-party platform on Friday. Messages attributed to hacking group OurMine appeared on Facebook's social media accounts on Friday. The social media giant's account on Instagram, which Facebook owns, posted an image with the same message that appeared on Twitter from the hacking group OurMine. "Well, even Facebook is hackable but at least their security better than Twitter."
