Burger King's Twitter account appeared to have fallen victim to hackers on Monday as it began sending out pro-McDonald's messages and the occasional rap video.

The company's Twitter feed was decked out with McDonald's promotions, implanting golden arches into the @BurgerKing account's masthead and setting the background graphic to a photo of the rival chain's popular Chicken McNuggets.

The hackers also changed the company's address to "in a hood near you."

Phony tweets included a link to one photo of unsanitary working conditions in an unidentifiable kitchen, and another of man injecting himself with a syringe. Other tweets promoted rap artists and provided links to their respective music videos on YouTube.

Twitter users responded gleefully, with one onlooker writing: "Somebody needs to tell Burgerking that 'whopper123' isn't a secure password."
