Delta Airlines Facebook page was apparently hacked Tuesday.
Instead of the normal stream of post about travel destinations, an obscene link was published on the page under the title, "10 Reasons Why Girls Dont Give Bl--j--s."
About an hour after the initial post, a second obscene link was posted.
Shortly after the second post, Delta removed the objectionable links.
The Airlines has since apologized on Twitter saying its Facebook page has been compromised.
In a statement to Business Insider, Delta said:
Within an hour, Delta was able to work with Facebook to remove objectionable and offensive content posted to the airline’s page, Tuesday afternoon. Delta apologizes for the unauthorized content that appeared on the site. We are investigating the source of the hack and will incorporate any key lessons to strengthen our social media security measures. No other Delta social media platforms were compromised.
The @Delta Facebook page was compromised. We sincerely apologize for the unauthorized, objectionable content that was posted.
