The NFL’s Twitter account just got hacked
Pesky hackers are at it again, and this time the target is the NFL. OurMine, the hacking group which has repeatedly targeted high-profile Twitter accounts, found itself in control of @NFL today, and took the opportunity to try to gain some clientele. The group, which also hacked Netflix today, posted the “we are just testing your security” notice that it always does, while offering to help the NFL shore up its cyber defenses.
OurMine, which also hacked the official Marvel account on Twitter today, bringing the day’s successful attacks up to three, told CNET that it doesn’t know who its next target will be. The group also explained that Twitter seems to know that something strange is happening to each of the accounts it breaches, as each profile gets a notification that “unusual activity” was detected whenever OurMine manages to get access.
