Hacked accounts in social networks of Real Madrid and FC Barcelona
The official accounts on Twitter and Facebook of Futbol Club Barcelona were hacked, welcoming the club to player Ángel Di María, current player of Paris Saint-Germain. In addition, a few days later the same thing happened to the Twitter account of Real Madrid, in which they announced the sale of the French player Karim Benzema and the arrival at the club of Leo Messi. Along with these messages, the group of hackers requested the contact with the responsible of the accounts in the social networks to solve the security problems that gave rise to the hacking.
The group responsible for these incidents is responsible for hacking the accounts of PlayStation and HBO
