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."
Twitter has suspended two accounts tagged in the tweets.
