Nearly half of the teams in the National Football League appeared to have their Twitter accounts hacked Monday afternoon.
As of the time of this story's writing, 15 verified accounts belonging to professional football teams have tweeted out strange messages, and had their profile photos and banners disappear. The apparent hacks appear to have all happened within the span of a couple hours on Monday.
A group called OurMine is taking responsibility on Twitter for the hacks, which the group says also included some of the Instagram and Facebook accounts of the affected NFL teams. In since-deleted tweets, many of these hacked Twitter accounts posted messages, reading: "We're back (OurMine). We are here to show people that everything is hackable."
