OurMine Security Group is a hacker group. The group uses hacks of celebrity internet accounts to advertise their commercial services.

In 2016, they hacked the Twitter accounts of Misplaced Pages co-founder Jimmy Wales, Pokémon Go creator John Hanke, Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey, Google CEO Sundar Pichai, and Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg, whose Pinterest was also hacked. In addition to social media accounts, the group has hacked the website TechCrunch.

In October 2016, BuzzFeed published an article linking the OurMine group to a Saudi Arabian teenager using the name Ahmad Makki on social media. OurMine denied the allegations, claiming that Makki was only a "fan" of the group. One day after the article's publication, OurMine infiltrated BuzzFeed's website and altered the content of several posts to read "Hacked By OurMine".

In November 2016, OurMine hacked the Misplaced Pages account of Jimmy Wales, using it to redirect several pages, including the Main Page and the articles on Barack Obama and Donald Trump, to this article.
