A hacker has managed to gain access to the phone numbers of several famous football players currently under contract with Spanish teams.

According to Sport.ro, the personal phone numbers of Cristiano Ronaldo, Fabio Coentrao, Banega, Jordi Alba, Cristian Tello, Iker Casillas, Cesc Fàbregas, Gerard Pique, Pinto, David Navarro, Vicente del Bosque, and even the one of Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho have been published on Twitter.

Reportedly, the players have been forced to turn off their phones as a result of the large number of calls they received after the numbers were posted online.

The Twitter posts have been deleted and police have launched an investigation on the matter.

This is not the first time when hackers target footballers who play in Spain. Back in August, during the Spanish Super Cup, the Twitter accounts of several players were breached by a hacker calling himself Padorowsky.
