Fast Company's Apple News account was hacked on Tuesday evening.

The messages are vile and not in line with the content and ethos of Fast Company.

So far the attacker claims they were able to hack Fast Company due to a simple reused password that gave them access to most tools including admin pages, email, alerts, etc.

An incredibly offensive alert was sent by Fast Company, which has been hacked.

As of Wednesday morning, the details about what happened in the Fast Company hack, and who the attacker is, remain limited.
