The New York Post Gets HACKED

The United States’ oldest circulated newspaper the New York Post has gotten hacked.

A suspected rogue employee has hacked the New York Post’s official website and Twitter account.

The hacker posted numerous articles about Biden, AOC, immigrants, and others.

Most of the articles called for violence against Biden and other Dems.

This isn’t the first time the New York Post’s site and the Twitter account have been hacked.

Back in 2015, the Post was hacked by an anonymous person who tweeted that the United States was at war with China.

NBC New York reported these details:

An apparently rogue employee took over the New York Post’s Twitter account Thursday morning, posting a series of tweets masquerading as Op-Ed headlines calling for the murder of various top politicians.

The takeover appears to have started just after 9 a.m. ET with a series of tweets about Pres. Biden, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Mayor Eric Adams and migrants at the southern border, among others.

Many of the tweets called for violence; others were racially or sexually vulgar.

The offending tweets were gone by 9:30 a.m., and the Post tweeted a few minutes later about what happened.

About three hours later, the paper issued an updated statement blaming an internal attack.

“The New York Post’s investigation indicates that the unauthorized conduct was committed by an employee, and we are taking appropriate action. This morning, we immediately removed the vile and reprehensible content from our website and social media accounts,” the paper said.

Ironically, the attack started just minutes before Elon Musk, Twitter’s new owner, posted a manifesto for advertisers on why he’d bought the platform and how he planned to manage it in future.

The New York Post has been hacked. We are currently investigating the cause.

Variety dropped these details:

The website and Twitter account of the right-leaning New York Post, owned by Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp, were hacked Thursday morning before the publication restored control. The outlet said an investigation indicated an employee was behind the hack.

The person who hijacked the Post’s Twitter account posted links to fake stories on its site with extremely inflammatory headlines. Those included including “We Must Assassinate AOC for America,” referring to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), and “Zeldin: Eric Adams Is NYC’s Fried Chicken Eating Monkey,” references to New York City Mayor Eric Adams and Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY), the Republican who is running for governor of New York.
