Disneyland‘s Social Media Accounts Hacked With Racist And Offensive Posts
Disneyland’s Facebook and Instagram accounts were hacked Wednesday morning by a self-proclaimed “super hacker.”
During his takeover, David DO (which he calls himself) posted racist slurs and made it clear that he was seeking revenge against the park and its employees for talking about his small penis.
Four posts appeared on the Instagram account around 4:30 a.m. local time.
Posts from the hacker used racist and homophobic slurs, and one referred to the “release” of another strain of Covid-19, according to the Times.
A Disneyland spokesperson confirmed that the accounts “were compromised early this morning.” The posts have been removed.
“We worked quickly to remove the reprehensible content, secure our accounts, and our security teams are conducting an investigation,” the spokesperson said in a statement.
The Instagram account for the park, in Anaheim, California, has 8.4 million followers. It regularly posts photos from attractions at the park and photos of guests, including families and young children.
