“Disneyland Resort’s Facebook and Instagram accounts were compromised early yesterday morning,” Disneyland told PEOPLE in a statement. “We worked quickly to remove the reprehensible content, secure our accounts, and our security teams are conducting an investigation.”
The hacker posted several selfies of the same man and created captions filled with slurs just after 4 a.m. Pacific time Thursday, according toNBC Los Angeles. The hacker introduced themselves as “David Do,” and appeared to indicate the photos were of themself in the caption, though it remains unclear who accessed the accounts and whether they actually used their own photos.
The hacker wrote that “I am f—— tired” of employees at the Anaheim, California amusement park “mocking me for having a small penis,” in the caption, continuing to write: “WHO’S THE TOUGH GUY NOW JEROME?”

The private account appears to use a photo of the same person and is attributed to a David Do, though the account’s biography states “I’m not a super hacker.”

The hacker made multiple posts on Disneyland’s account that used racial slurs and made reference to popular2000s and 2010s Disney Channel commercials, according to thePost.
The posts were quickly removed from Disneyland’s Instagram and Facebook pages. The park’s Instagram page briefly went offline shortly after the hack occurred Thursday, according to thePost.
By Friday, Disneyland’s Instagram account appeared to return to normal, featuring recent posts of performances at the park and characters like Mickey and Minnie Mouse for its 8.4 million followers.
