Disneyland Resort’s Facebook (NASDAQ:META) and Instagram accounts were hacked earlier on Thursday with a series of inappropriate posts that were subsequently taken down, Walt Disney (NYSE:DIS) Co said.

“We worked quickly to remove the reprehensible content, secure our accounts, and our security teams are conducting an investigation,” the entertainment giant said in a statement.

Screenshots of the Instagram posts, which were posted online, contained profane and racist posts made by a person claiming to be a “super hacker here to bring revenge upon Disney land.”

Disneyland has about 8.4 million followers on Instagram.

Facebook and Instagram’s parent company Meta Platforms Inc did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
