NFL Twitter Account Hacked, Falsely Claims Roger Goodell Died
(CBS) Remember to change your passwords.
The NFL's Twitter account was hacked late Tuesday morning, with a sudden and stunning tweet first announcing that commissioner Roger Goodell had died.
Quickly, that tweet was deleted, but it was followed with two more since-removed tweets.
The first read: "Oi, I said Roger Goodell has died. Don't delete that tweet." The next read: "OK, OK, you amateur detectives win. Good job."
The NFL's public relations staff stepped in and offered clarity to the confusing situation.
Naturally, such a crazy series of Twitter events brought out some entertaining reactions.
Commissioner Goodell is alive and well, working away at NFL offices. Changing their social media passwords is likely atop the league agenda.
