Along with the NFL and other teams. One would expect better security from the NFL ... but hackers going to hack it appears.

I can assure you it was not me as I would have thrown up a message on their account that the Bills have traded josh Allen and a 1st round draft pick for Baker Mayfield to see all sides of TBD explode :)

 What do you expect when the account password is probably "Team name" + NFL1234. ?

I had heard the Washing DC team wasn't part of it.    How bad do you have to be to be ignored in a hack?

eams hacked by OurMine on Twitter included the San Francisco 49ers — which had its entire bio deleted as well — and the Kansas City Chiefs, who are due to go head-to-head in the Super Bowl this weekend.

 

Other teams that appeared to be impacted by the hack on Twitter were the Dallas Cowboys, the Philadelphia Eagles, the Houston Texans, the New York Giants, the Chicago Bears, and the official Twitter account of the NFL. 

 

Prior to having its account suspended, OurMine tweeted out a running list of teams that had been hacked on Monday, noting that it had also successfully accessed the Instagram accounts of the Dallas Cowboys, the Buffalo Bills and the Minnesota Vikings. 

 

The Vikings also had their Facebook account compromised, with OurMine tweeting they had also hacked the Facebook accounts of the Green Bay Packers, the NFL, the Buffalo Bills, the Dallas Cowboys and the Houston Texans.
