They removed the article, but there is still a post on their front page: https://techcrunch.com/

Looks like their post got published to the RSS feed as well. Can't undo that.

Please don't post links to hacked websites. A screenshot would do

I'm guessing they just pwned one of their employees via some kind of social engineering. Nothing to see here.

I have been following the recent hacks by the OurMine group, and find it all fascinating.

If anyone knows more about the group, their motives and how they actually manage to compromise various high profile social media accounts and websites, please do share it here.

According to their website [1], they seem to be trying to establish a reputation for pentesting social-media and websites. What better way to garner interest than by hacking a couple major companies?
