An important thing to notice about this news is that we suspect Vine removed verification badge from Cerny’s profile after it was hacked. Remember, just like Twitter and Facebook; Vine also provides celebrities with a verification badge but Cerny’s badge is gone. Here is a screenshot from the account of another Vine celebrity Lele Pons that shows Vine verification badge.

Who’s OurMine?
