Wikipedia pages briefly vandalized with swastikas
A variety of Wikipedia articles were replaced with images of swastikas Monday morning. Pages defaced include those for celebrities Johnny Depp, according to Input, as well as Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez according to Insider.
Several pages for politicians appeared to be vandalized too, such as those for Vice President Kamala Harris and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
The anti-Semitic symbol was apparently only on these pages for several minutes. Mashable has reached out to the Wikipedia foundation for comment.
