The social media accounts of several NFL teams and one belonging to the NFL were hacked, the NFL said in a statement today. Nearly half of the teams in the league had their Twitter accounts hacked on Sunday and Monday, and the hacker group OurMine has taken responsibility for the hacks, according to the BBC. Over the past hour, OurMine has apparently hacked Twitter accounts owned by ESPN and UFC, and may not be finished yet.
