Well, it wasn't such a good morning on Twitter for ABC News and Good Morning America, as their respective Twitter accounts were hacked Thursday, resulting in the network unwittingly broadcasting some fake news.

The tweets, which had some profanity and claimed that rapper Tyler the Creator had died, also claimed to be from Russian hackers who love President Trump.

The tweets were quickly deleted and ABC responded that the @ABC News, @GMA and @GMAPopNews Twitter accounts "were hacked early this morning." A later tweet added: "We resolved the issue quickly & errant tweets were deleted quickly."

But some fast screen-grabbing Twitter users, including two ABC journalists, documented the hack.

Jaclyn DeAugustino, a morning traffic anchor at WCPO, an ABC station in Cincinnati, saw the "we are totally russian hackers but we love @POTUS @realdonaldtrump" tweet.

Jada Montemarano, a live center anchor and digital reporter at Channel 23, an ABC station in Bakersfield, Calif., captured several tweets including ones saying “follow @CNN for real news, our news is wack” and “trump is our lord and savior,” as well as the tweet that Tyler The Creator had died in a tour bus crash.

A few other tweets were sent before ABC was able to shut down the activity.

The situation was not as nasty as in January when a breach in a New York Times Twitter account resulted in an untrue tweet about a Russian missile attack against the U.S. being posted before being quickly deleted.
