Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

The official Twitter account of British Airways was apparently hacked few days ago, an investigation has been launched if the account was hacked or misused.

According to the sources, a racist and offensive message was retweeted from the official the company’s twitter account, The airline’s @British_Airways account has 211,609 followers. On Saturday it re-tweeted a message that used the racist term:

F*** you, f***** cancel my flight, @bunchofcun**, “g***” “f**k off back to where you came from,”..

 The airline then issued an apology to its followers, which said:

“We apologies for the offence caused. We are currently investigating how this happened.”

The apology was then retweeted by over 160 followers.

Another Twitter user called Asian Ronaldo re-tweeted Ladd’s original message, adding the offensive statement: “go back to your f****** country you g***”. This was the message re-tweeted by British Airways.

The key point is if the account was really hacked or it was an act of racism from someone within the British Airway’s social media team.
