OurMine broke into the Spanish club's social media account on Saturday

"Hi, we are OurMine. Well, this is the second time, the security level is better but still not the best to improve your accounts security Contact us: contact@o u r m i n e. org For security services visit: o u r m i n e. org". this was the message sent out to all the followers of Barcelona's various Twitter accounts on Saturday. 

The group of hackers known as OurMine took over the Catalan club's social media accounts for a second time and joked that they needed to improve their security. 

Along with the initial message, they posted several other tweets from the varying accounts. One was a question mark with a photograph of Neymar in a Barcelona shirt. Another joked: "Well, we read some private messages and it look like Neymar will be back here." 

Another account tweeted for president Josep Maria Bartomeu to resign. 

OurMine are well known for taking over famous accounts. This time it was Barça's turn. The last time they took over Barça's account they tweeted about signing Angel di Maria.

Barcelona quickly deleted the tweets and later confirmed: "FC Barcelona's Twitter accounts have been hacked, which is why messages from outside our club have appeared, and which have been reported and deleted. The tweets were made through a third-party tool for data analytics.

"FC Barcelona will conduct a cybersecurity audit and will review all protocols and links with third party tools, in order to avoid such incidents and to guarantee the best service to our members and fans. We apologise for any inconvenience this situation may have caused."
