Burger King USA's official Twitter account has been hacked this morning.
The Burger King logo has been changed to a McDonald's one and changed the account name to "McDonald's".
"We just got sold to McDonalds! Look for McDonalds in a hood near you," the hackers wrote to announce the prank
about 6am NZ time.
In the past hour, some posts from the account have contained racial epithets, references to drug use and obscenities. The account has also tweeted: "if I catch you at a wendys, we're fightin!"
The account was later shut down.
