Entertainment news site Variety was briefly taken over by the infamous hacker group OurMine, the same group responsible for infiltrating several high-profile figures’ social media accounts and media outlets in recent months.

The group also flooded the site’s email subscribers’ inboxes with dozens of identical emails with the subject “Hacked By #OurMine – Read The post!!
