The NFL’s Twitter account got hacked today
When this Tweet came across my Tweet Deck this afternoon, suffice it to say, I was a little stunned. And suspicious. Yes, it turns out the @NFL Twitter account was hacked this afternoon, with hackers posting a tweet telling the account’s 19 million followers that NFL commissioner Roger Goodell had died. Even after the NFL took that tweet down, hackers followed it up with two more:
Rest assured, Goodell is alive and well, although you could argue his conscious died several years…amirite?!?!Turns out @IDissEverything was the hacker:
