It appears like Mickey Mouse would possibly want a refresher on digital safety.
On Thursday morning The Happiest Place on Earth’s Instagram account was briefly taken over by a self-described “super-hacker” who claims to have sought revenge on Disneyland workers who supposedly mocked his “small penis.” The “hacker” possessed all of the hallmarks of an unoriginal web troll.
“WHO’S THE TOUGH GUY NOW JEROME,” the poster, who recognized himself as David DO,” wrote in accordance with a screenshot saved by CBS News. The offending posts reportedly started to pop up round 3:50 a.m. Pacific time however seem to have been eliminated on the time of writing.
In addition to the above posts, which featured the picture of a glasses-carrying younger man with black hair and darkish eyes, CBS Los Angeles notes three extra posts and one Instagram story that includes racial slurs and unhinged tangents. In a few of these posts, the hacker reportedly used the n-word, whereas in others he reportedly claimed to have, “invented COVID and blamed it on Wuhan.” This supposed world-class hacker additionally claimed he was “working on COVID20.”
Disneyland didn’t instantly reply to Gizmodo’s request for remark. Gizmodo reached out to a number of accounts on Instagram and Twitch that seem to match the picture and deal with of the poster and however we haven’t heard again.
The troll’s posts appeared restricted to Disneyland’s Instagram account, which on the time of writing boasts 8.4 million followers. The most up-to-date submit on Disneyland’s account on the time contain a efficiency of The Lion King, dated six days previous.
If this was, in actual fact, a “hack” it would doubtless deliver again unhealthy reminiscences for safety staff within the Disney orbit. Back in 2019, the then not too long ago launched Disney+ subscription streaming service fell sufferer to hackers who reportedly acquired customers’ credentials and bought them on the darkish net.
