New York Post says since-deleted posts that contained offensive messages on Thursday morning were published by an employee.
Spencer Platt / Getty Images fileThe New York Post's verified Twitter account was hijacked Thursday by an employee who posted a series of"vile and reprehensible" messages designed to look like real headlines, a spokesperson confirmed.
"The New York Post’s investigation indicates that the unauthorized conduct was committed by an employee, and we are taking appropriate action," the spokesperson said in an email. "This morning, we immediately removed the vile and reprehensible content from our website and social media accounts," the spokesperson added.The posts in question include fake headlines about New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, New York City Mayor Eric Adams, Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and President Joe Biden's son Hunter.
The Post is one of New York City's quintessential daily tabloids, known for eye-catching headlines and conservative-leaning editorials. The person behind the hack could have republished old stories about the political figures in question and reposted the articles on Twitter with inflammatory headlines, according to an employee who asked not to be identified because they were not authorized to speak publicly.
