The Twitter accounts of ABC News and “Good Morning America” were apparently the target of hackers Thursday morning.

Tweets filled with profanity and false news reports were posted to the ABC News account, while tweets claiming to be from “Russian hackers” who “love” President Donald Trump were appearing on “Good Morning America’s” page.

Many of the tweets were quickly deleted.

ABC News released a statement shortly after the hacking was discovered saying it is “working on resolving the problem.”

The company has since removed the offending tweets.
