The New York Post said its Twitter account was hacked after messages were posted citing bogus breaking news about U.S. interest-rate policy and China firing missiles on a U.S. Navy ship.
The newspaper’s Sunday business editor tweeted “Our Twitter feed has been hacked.” The company then sent a statement that said, “Some New York Post Twitter accounts were briefly hacked and the matter is being investigated.” Twitter said in a statement that it doesn’t comment on individual accounts for privacy and security reasons.
