BuzzFeed is the latest victim of a website hack.

OurMine, a group responsible for hacking the social media accounts of tech executives like Mark Zuckerberg, Twitter's Jack Dorsey and Evan Williams, Google CEO Sundar Pichai, and Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales targeted and gained access to the major media site on Wednesday morning.

The extent of OurMine's hack of BuzzFeed’s systems was not immediately clear, but the group was able to alter several headlines and leads on the site, originally targeting a post by reporter Joseph Bernstein.
