When hacker group OurMine said it gained access to Jack Dorsey's Dropbox account, the hackers boasted proof that the Twitter CEO could see users' Vine passwords. Twitter acquired Vine in 2012.
"We hacked Jack's Dropbox and we found all Vine files, including [a] picture of the control panel of Vine," OurMine claims in an update.
An image of the purported Vine control panel was also posted on OurMine's website, suggesting that people from Twitter could easily pry open an account and take over.
The hacker group claims that those "who have access to the panel can see private information about people and their passwords!!"
Twitter: 'We Never Show Passwords'
In an email to VentureBeat, a Twitter spokesperson denied the accusations.
"Our Vine admin site is restricted to Twitter IPs, is HTTPs, and never shows passwords in any form," the representative writes. "We securely store our passwords per industry best practices."
Neither is the image of the control panel accurate, the spokesperson claims.
