This morning, Disney experienced a major problem when the official Disneyland Instagram account was hacked, and the hacker created several offensive posts.

Very early this morning, on June 7th, the official Disneyland Instagram account (which has about 8.4 million followers) was hacked by someone who called themselves “David DO.” They claimed to be a “super hacker that is here to bring revenge on Disney land.”

These posts remained up on Disneyland’s Instagram for nearly an hour and were finally deleted about 50 minutes after the first one went live. During that time, the hacker also posted Instagram stories. Now, the offensive posts have been removed and it appears that Disney is in control of the account once again.
