Ahead of Super Bowl LIV, a number of NFL teams have had their social media accounts hacked Getty ImagesThe official social media accounts, including those on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, of 15 National Football League (NFL) teams, and the NFL itself, have been hacked. As well as the two teams that will play in the Super Bowl LIV Championship match on February 2, the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers, a total of 13 other NFL teams were targeted. A Bloomberg report stated that a post by the hackers to the official Green Bay Packers Twitter account read: "We are here to show people that everything is hackable." USA Today reported that OurMine claimed in the now-deleted tweets that it could improve account security. Most recently, it compromised the Twitter accounts of both Mariah Carey and Adam Sandler.
