New York Post Website, Twitter Account Hacked, ‘Vulgar and Racist’ Tweets and Headlines Published
The New York Post website and its Twitter account have been hacked and the publication is now undertaking an investigating into the matter.
New York, October 27: The New York Post website and its Twitter account have been hacked and the publication is now investigating the hack that led to a series of "vulgar and racist" tweets and headlines published on its website and social media channel, the publication said Thursday.
New York Twitter posts included posts falsely attributed to Representative Lee Zeldin referring to New York Governor Kathy Hochul, the New York Post said. PM Narendra Modi Holds Talks With UK PM Rishi Sunak, Agrees on Early Conclusion of Free Trade Agreement.
In their only scheduled debate, Gov. Hochul and her challenger Representative Zeldin, quarrelled intensely on Tuesday over divisive issues such as rising crime and abortion access, while accusing each other of corruption and dangerous extremism. Zeldin and Hochul are opponents in the coming governor elections.
There were other false posts about New York Mayor Eric Adams and US President Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden. Russian President Vladimir Putin Claims West Using Ukraine To Seek Global Domination, Accuses US of Playing 'Dangerous and Bloody' Diktat Game.
The hacker or hackers also appeared to have access to The Post's internal publishing system, republishing an editorial about Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and changing the byline to Ben Shapiro, the conservative commentator, the publication said. The headline was changed to say: "We must assassinate AOC for America," it added.
Later, a spokeswoman confirmed that The Post had been hacked and said that the organization was investigating the cause. However, more information is still awaited.
