Dallas Cowboys defensive tackle David Irving learned a painful lesson in cybersecurity Monday, as his Twitter account appeared to be hacked.

The hacker highlighted Irving's off-field issues in a series of since-deleted tweets. The 24-year-old was arrested and charged with domestic violence in 2013 against the mother of his child (the charges were dropped nearly two months later) and was suspended for four games to start the 2017 season due to violating the league's policy on performance-enhancing drugs.

The hacker also appeared to have some fun with Irving's cover photo, which was still live Monday morning.
