The Twitter account of another high profile individual has been hacked. This time it was John Hanke’s turn! Hanke is the CEO of Niantic, and the developer of the game that’s all the craze right now, Pokémon GO.

The tweets have now been deleted. Credit for this hacking was taken by OurMine, which is a group of Saudi Arabian hackers who also broke into Sundar Pichai’s, Jack Dorsey’s, and Mark Zuckerberg’s Twitter accounts, to name a few CEOs.

OurMine claims to be testing the security of high profile accounts and teaches people to secure them better. It offers its support to those it targets, and can charge up to $5,000 for a scan of their social media accounts and other security flaws.

The hackers claimed the Hanke’s password was “nopass,” a six letter word without numbers or special characters that made his account vulnerable and easily compromised.
