Hackers broke into Mark Zuckerberg’s Twitter and Pinterest accounts last Sunday. They found Zuckerberg’s password amongst a massive dump of Linkedin passwords and data that was stolen earlier this year.
Zuckerberg had made a basic level cyber security mistake by using the same password for several accounts. His password was simply “dadada”.
Users on China’s largest social media, Weibo, posted their comments mocking Zuckerbergs shallow and unsafe password. AllChinaTech has selected several hot ones:
“This guy wants to enter the Chinese market so much that all he thinks about is dada.” (The Chinese president Xi Jinping is affectionately called Xi Dada, meaning Uncle Xi in a local Chinese dialect.) — dingxx
“This is what it sounds like when a baby first learns to say ‘dad’.” — Meiguihenana
“I think someone next to him probably saw his password, and this cannot be called hacking—the password is too simple to forget.” — Huitailangbushihuitailang
“I would have logged in to Mark Zuckerberg’s accounts and announced ‘We have entered the Chinese market’, if I knew the passwords were ‘dadada’.” — Siqingxuan
“It seems to me that a bunch of Zuckerberg’s fans will change their own passwords to ‘dadada’.”– Guatutu
