Well, this is awkward. It appears that Facebook and Messenger's official Twitter accounts has been hacked.

The accounts were briefly taken over by hacking group OurMine, a group known for taking over prominent social media accounts.

It appears the hackers were able to get off several, near-identical tweets, which attributed the account takeovers to OurMine. "Well, even Facebook is hackable but at least their security is better than Twitter," the tweets, which have since been deleted, said.

In one message, which has also been deleted, the hackers tagged gossip vlogger Keemstar.

Twitter confirmed the hacks in a statement. "The accounts were hacked through a third-party platform," a spokesperson said. "As soon as we were made aware of the issue, we locked the compromised accounts and are working closely with our partners at Facebook to restore them."

The group also got into Facebook's Instagram account, as well as the Instagram account for Messenger where they posted OurMine's logo several times. Those posts were also quickly deleted.

Facebook later confirmed the attacks, saying its accounts were "briefly hacked."
