Hackers targeted the LinkedIn page of cybersecurity firm McAfee on Sunday. The attackers posted random comments and changed McAfee's logo, which was then propagated to other staff accounts. Unnamed perpetrators, who described themselves as former members of the OurMine group that targeted high-profile social media accounts, claimed responsibility for the attack. McAfee's LinkedIn account has since been recovered and the company said it has taken action to prevent a recurrence of the attack.
