CHICAGO _ The Bears' Twitter account was hacked Sunday morning by a group announcing they wanted to "show people that everything is hackable."
The hack was first revealed when a Tweet from @ChicagoBears, which has 1.8 million followers, went out announcing a new owner and tagging @Turki _ alalshikh, a Saudi official, as that man.
The Bears and Twitter deleted the tweets within an hour. A Bears official said the organization worked with Twitter, and the issue was resolved.
At least one fan group attempted to take advantage of the takeover. @PrideOfDetroit, a Lions fan blog, tweeted, "Hey, while you're still hacked @ChicagoBears trade us Khalil Mack for a 6th rounder. Twitter is a binding contract."
The Bears' Twitter account, apparently still under the hackers' control, responded, "Done for 1$ (sic)."
Later Sunday morning, Bears messages from the Pro Bowl events Saturday were the last tweets available. Three Bears players _ Kyle Fuller, Eddie Jackson and Cordarrelle Patterson _ will play in the Pro Bowl on Sunday.
