A hacker group called OurMine took over Netflix Inc.'s U.S. account on Twitter Inc.'s microblogging service, BBC News reported Dec. 21.

The tweets, which were reportedly deleted after about an hour, promoted the hacker group's website and services. The hackers informed BBC that while they still have access to Netflix's account and are continuing to post tweets, Twitter's support group is deleting them.

OurMine in June hacked Facebook Inc. CEO Mark Zuckerberg's Twitter and Pinterest accounts.
