Hacked Twitter accounts have always created chaos in the internet world. Whenever a Twitter account gets hacked, it triggers a trail of mean tweets that infuriate almost everyone. The trend goes on, and this time, the victim is the famous American restaurant Buffalo Wild Wings.

Buffalo Wild Wings Twitter Account Posted Some ‘Awful’ Tweets

Friday night did not bring happy memories for Buffalo Wild Wings’ officials as their Twitter account was hacked. People witnessed some racist and other incendiary tweets posted by the official Buffalo Wild Wings’ account that seemed to genuinely enraged everyone who saw them. In fact, those tweets were not merely racist, rather mean as well. At around 7.30 p.m. ET, the alleged hacker started posting a trail of annoying messages, which left the 700,000 followers of Buffalo Wild Wings stunned. After posting six consecutive tweets within 20 minutes, the trail eventually stopped as the hacker possibly lost access to the account. The officials were quick to delete those tweets. However, they couldn’t prevent them from being preserved as screenshots. https://twitter.com/ParkerMolloy/status/1002697771252625408
