O site oficial do Corinthians foi invadido na madrugada deste sábado (31) e passou a exibir uma nota falsa anunciando a contratação de Lionel Messi, do Inter Miami. O texto trazia detalhes de como a operação teria sido feita e uma suposta declaração do argentino comemorando a chegada.
Horas depois, a página foi retomada, agora com o aviso de "em manutenção". O clube não havia se pronunciado sobre a invasão até o fim da manhã.
No começo da semana, o rival Palmeiras também teve o portal atacado: com instabilidade no acesso, todas as páginas redirecionavam para um link com a provocação "Palmeiras não tem Mundial". O site palmeirense já voltou ao normal.
O ataque ao Corinthians veio poucas horas depois da vitória sobre o Mirassol pela 33ª rodada do Brasileirão — a primeira do time de Clarence Seedorf após dez partidas sem vencer. O clube segue na zona de rebaixamento, mas não deixou os concorrentes abrirem distância.
Na próxima quarta-feira (04), às 21h30, o Corinthans enfrenta o São Paulo na Vila Belmiro tentando sair da degola, e ainda precisa torcer contra um dos concorrentes diretos: Mirassol, Grêmio, Vitória, Vasco, Coritiba ou Botafogo.
Em nota, o clube afirmou que identificou o ataque cibernético, neutralizou a ocorrência com a equipe de TI, sem prejuízo financeiro ou comprometimento de dados, e que reforça protocolos de segurança — por isso os sites do Corinthians e da Neo Química Arena estão temporariamente fora do ar.
