BBC News reports:
The chief executive of Facebook-owned virtual reality company Oculus, Brendan Iribe, has become the latest in a string of company bosses to have their social media accounts hacked.
The Oculus boss had his Twitter account compromised, but it is now restored.
Brendan. Take your bloody stupid virtual reality goggles off and see the wood for the trees.
Hackers are trawling through the huge database of leaked LinkedIn passwords and trying their luck to see if it will help them get into your other online accounts.

Sensors on the VR headset monitor the user’s head motion and send the data to the robot, which is programmed to replicate those movements in real time. So when the user turns his or her head to the left, the robot does too, and it streams the video immediately, giving off the feeling that the user is in the same environment as the robot.
