"The New York Post has been hacked. We are currently investigating the cause," the daily newspaper tweeted shortly after removing multiple disturbing tweets published earlier on Thursday.
Fast Company was forced to take down its website for approximately two weeks after the hacker pushed racist notifications to its readers' mobile devices using the Apple News platform.
The attack was later claimed by Thrax, a member of the Breached hacking community, who also revealed the extent of the hack and how they breached the site's CMS via its WordPress instance.
American media and publishing giant News Corp, New York Post's owner, also disclosed in February that it was the target of a "Persistent" cyberattack.
The attack was discovered in January, and it reportedly allowed threat actors to access emails and documents belonging to News Corp employees, including some journalists.
A News Corp spokesperson was not available for comment when BleepingComputer reached out earlier today.
