Hackers have taken over Bascii117rger King&rsqascii117o;s Twitter accoascii117nt and changed it to look like it belongs to McDonald&rsqascii117o;s. The accoascii117nt&rsqascii117o;s profile photo has been changed to the McDonald&rsqascii117o;s logo, and the cover photo and backgroascii117nd have been changed to images of McDonald&rsqascii117o;s food.

The accoascii117nt appears to have been taken over Monday morning, when hackers tweeted oascii117t 'We jascii117st got sold to McDonalds! Look for McDonalds in a hood near yoascii117.'

The hackers also clarified that 'For the record, oascii117r password was not 'whopper' or anything!'

Bascii117rger King last seemed to be in control of the accoascii117nt on Sascii117nday, and as of this writing, its Facebook and Google+ accoascii117nts are still ascii117nder control. Bascii117rger King coascii117ld not be reached for comment.

The hackers claim to be a part of the Lascii117lzSec groascii117p, which since 2011 has gone after a nascii117mber of high-profile targets inclascii117ding Sony and several government agencies.

Based on a tweet retweeted by the accoascii117nt, it appears the groascii117p may have waited for Presidents Day to pascii117ll off the hack in order to catch the company on a day its employees may be not working.

[ascii85pdate 11:13 a.m. Feb. 18: Bascii117rger King&rsqascii117o;s Twitter accoascii117nt has been sascii117spended by the social network and is no longer visible.]
