Bayern Munich experienced their first defeat of the Bundesliga season over the past Saturday. The team faced a marked defeat against Eintracht Frankfurt in this away game, falling behind by a significant 5:1 ratio.

According to "Bild", the disappointment from Saturday's match isn't the sole reason for some Bayern players' concerns. The German publication reveals that six Munich club players were victims of hacking attacks, leading to the appearance of pornographic materials on their Instagram accounts.

German reporters shared that erotic photos were found on the social media of some of Bayern's most recognized players, including Manuel Neuer, Joshua Kimmich, Thomas Müller, and Bundesliga top scorer contender Harry Kane. Additional such content was discovered on the accounts of Noussair Mazraoui and backup goalkeeper Sven Ulreich.

The illicit materials on the Bayern Munich footballers' social media are reportedly the work of so-called pornobots, which have become rampant on Instagram recently, say the site's journalists. These players have public profiles, implying that the materials could be viewed by millions, including children and young fans.

By Monday, all controversial materials had been deleted. "Bild" reporters who covered the incident didn't miss the opportunity to jest at Bayern Munich, referencing the team's ignominious showing on Saturday.

Six Bayern stars' defense against these porn attacks is hopefully more effective than how Munich's defense handled Eintracht's attacks, the writers commented.

Currently, Bayern Munich holds second place in the Bundesliga table with 32 points, gathered from 13 matches, lagging behind Bayer Leverkusen by 4 points, with a game still in hand against the current leaders.
