The New York Posts website and Twitter account were hacked Thursday, as racist and sexually explicit headlines about Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and President Joe Biden were published. The posts were removed shortly thereafter on, and the News Corp -owned New York tabloid newspapers website was operating as usual by mid-morning. The Post has 2.8 million followers on Twitter. A New York Post spokesperson confirmed in an email to CNBC that the posts resulted from a hack. Weve taken down the vile and reprehensible content posted by the hackers and continue to investigate the cause, the spokesperson said, providing no further comment on the matter. The headlines appeared with photos but links that didnt lead to articles. In addition to violent and explicit headlines targeting Biden and his son, Hunter, and Ocasio-Cortez, there was also a racist headline regarding New York Mayor Eric Adams and a post targeting unionized teachers.

The New York Post has long fostered an ugly, toxic conversation on their front pages and social accounts, but these posts are more disgusting and vile than usual, a Hochul representative said Thursday. The New York Post needs to immediately explain how this reprehensible content was made public. While the Post has made its preferences very clear in the New York Governors race, there is no room for this violent, sexist rhetoric in our politics. We demand answers.

The way gamefaqs is posting examples would get you modded. As the NY Gov rep said it was worse than usual is best I can describe it without getting modded.

The way to tell if they got hacked was if the quality of writing had improved.

Yea. Sure I give it to people that NY Post makes sexist/racist headlines. But the stuff from this hack was kinda obvious it wasnt them. They dont openly call for the murder of politicians or people.
