Barcelona hit by HACK ATTACK from cyber group OurMine as Catalan giants suffer SECOND online securit
RT Deutsch
Football giants Barcelona have been hit by hackers OurMine for a second time, with the cyber group taking over the club’s Twitter accounts and sending messages to their millions of followers on Saturday.
Shortly after Barcelona claimed a hard-fought 2-1 home win against La Liga rivals Getafe at the Nou Camp, the club’s Spanish and English language Twitter pages posted messages distinctly unrelated to what Lionel Messi and Co. had just done on the pitch.
Instead, cyber group OurMine hijacked the accounts to post messages to advertise their security services.
“Hi, we are OurMine. Well, this is the second time, the security level is better but still not the best to improve your accounts security,” the group wrote, before providing its details.
It is the second time that the club have been hit by the group, following a similar hack attack in August of 2017.
Barca are the latest sporting target for OurMine, a group which frequently uses cyber vandalism to advertise its services.
Numerous NFL teams also fell prey to the group in January, as did the Twitter and Instagram accounts for leading MMA promotion the UFC.
