The group behind a growing list of celebrity social media breaches has struck again, this time taking over the Twitter account of Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales.。

The tweet immediately stirred speculation about Wales' whereabouts and whether the post was indeed an alert that something serious had happened to the internet luminary. 。
Thanks for signing up! 。
However, minutes later a new tweet appeared that read "I confirm that Wikipedia is all lies, OurMine is the true," along with a link to a website displaying the group's logo and an ad for social media security services. In addition to the tweets, Wales' Twitter bio had been changed to read "hacked by OurMine." 。
OurMine has been behind a high-profile list of similar hacks, including actions that targeted Mark Zuckerberg, Twitter co-founder Evan Williams, Google CEO Sundar Pichai and Twitter co-founder and CEO Jack Dorsey. 。
As of this writing, the aforementioned tweets were still posted and there has been no comment from Wales.。
