Chipotle apologized Sunday after the restaurant chain's Twitter account apparently was hacked, USA Today reports.

About 1 a.m. Sunday, hackers published several offensive tweets – which included racial slurs and profanity – to the @ChipotleTweets account. The account's profile picture was changed to a swastika.

A few hours later, the chain issued an apology, saying, "We apologize for the very offensive messages sent out from our account earlier tonight. We were unfortunately hijacked temporarily."
