As the NFL takes its Draft Day operations online this Thursday, April 23, 2020, due to the coronavirus, many head coaches and cybersecurity experts say teams are vulnerable to online mischief-makers, according to a Reuters report.
The league declined to disclose its security measures, but told Reuters they are “comprehensive and thoughtful,” and that they have provided best practices and are planning to run a system test with all 32 teams. Individual clubs have been running their own mock drafts to prepare, and the NFL will have also carried out a one-round draft simulation with clubs selecting former players before the virtual draft, adds Reuters.
