A hacker took control of Disneyland’s Instagram account for around an hour this Thursday, according to Metro UK. The anonymous attacker posted his first post shortly before 4 a.m., and four more and one story were to follow in the coming hours before the group regained control. In one of the posts, the hacker announced that he was a “super hacker” who wanted “revenge on Disneyland.”
Hacker posts offensive and racist content on Disneyland’s Instagram account
In his posts, the attacker attacked Disney employees with sometimes racist insults. At the same time, he also claimed that he “invented Covid and blamed it on Wuhan.” Now he is said to be working on “Covid20”, i.e. probably a new variant of the virus. The Disneylands Facebook account was also apparently compromised for a short period of time, although apparently no posts were made here.
The attacker’s posts received thousands of replies. Most users were shocked and outraged by the insulting and racist texts. After about an hour, the spook was over and Disneyland regained control of the account. The offending posts were immediately deleted. When asked by Metro UK, Disneyland has not yet commented on the incidents.
