Walmart said an "external bad actor" was to blame for creating a series of fake accounts spawning email confirmations that contained a racial slur.
On Twitter, several users reported receiving emails containing racist language from the address help@walmart.com.
"Apparently, I’m not the only one who woke up to this email from them this morning!" wrote Twitter user @justmebmg in a tweet that also shows a screenshot of the email.
In a statement emailed to USA TODAY, Walmart spokesperson Molly Blakeman said the retailer is reviewing their sign-up process for accounts to ensure similar incidents don't happen again.
