In the latest example of the case against brands—especially airlines—maintaining a social media presence, Delta‘s Facebook page was apparently hacked today—and it wasn’t pretty.
The @Delta Facebook page was compromised. We sincerely apologize for the unauthorized, objectionable content that was posted.

The offensive content posted on the @Delta Facebook page has been removed. We apologize and are investigating.

So what did the hacker (if it really was a hacker and not careless employee) want to share with the 1.5 million people who “like” Delta? We’re so glad you asked, because it is really, truly, top-quality content.
The posts vanished within an hour of the first one appearing, but they will remain here until the Daily Dot’s servers are ash and dust blowing across a featureless wasteland. You’re welcome!
