"Hackers Hijack Social Media Accounts for the NFL and 15 teams"

A Saudi hacker group named OurMine has hacked and defaced the social media accounts of the NFL and 15 of its teams. The accounts that got hacked include NFL, Arizona Cardinals, Chicago Bears, Cleveland Browns, Dallas Cowboys, Denver Broncos, Green Bay Packers, Houston Texans, Indianapolis Colts, Kansas City Chiefs, New York Giants, Minnesota Vikings, Philadelphia Eagles, Sanfrasico 49ers, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.  Most of these teams had their twitter accounts hacked, but a few had their Instagram and Facebook accounts hacked aswell. It is unclear at the moment how the group hacked the pages. However, researchers discovered that a large portion of the tweets posted by the OurMine crew on the hijacked accounts came from Khoros. Khoros is a web service used by digital marketing and public relations departments to manage social media accounts and gauge social media engagements. It is usually connected to a social media account as a third-party app.
