    Game publisher 2K recently gave a statement apologizing to the public after offensive material was slathered through several of their official social media accounts.

    Many official social media accounts of the publisher were broken by hackers recently and posted offensive material. The affected accounts included the official Facebook and Twitter pages of Borderlands franchise, WWE, and Civilization. The posts included racist comments and other offensive content. It took a while for the publisher to regain control of its accounts and erase the comments.

    Social media accounts across the 2K label were compromised early Friday evening. Unfortunately, offensive material was posted that does not reflect the values of 2K or our partners. We condemn these posts and apologize to everyone offended by the content.

    This handle has been hacked and the recent offensive tweets from this evening have not been written or authorized by Ronnie 2K.

    This recent hack comes after a week of that incident at the FIFA community manager social media accounts getting hacked. The hackers posted messages in support of a player that Electronic Arts banned for repeatedly violating its terms and conditions.
