Way better headline than anything the hacker came up with.
It’s bad enough when you get hacked and your Twitter account is suddenly spewing violent extremist crap like this:
x New York Post hacked as tweets call for ‘assassination’ of AOC and Biden 🚨
https://t.co/jOJZ9O0i1e — The Independent (@Independent) October 27, 2022
Or suggesting that a congressman committed a difficult and bizarre sex act.
You get the idea. Hacking is bad — and this one is really bad.
The Post is, of course, expressing outrage.
x The New York Post has been hacked. We are currently investigating the cause. — New York Post (@nypost) October 27, 2022
But when it’s hard to tell the difference from your usual postings, you’re going to get rolled on Twitter.
x Hacked NY Post: most readers couldn't tell the difference. — Grant Stern is boosted! (@grantstern) October 27, 2022
x The thing bout the NY Post getting hacked with "extremist, hate-filled racist headlines" is that all day, every day, the NY Post is filled with actual extremist, hate-filled racist headlines written by the NY Post and amplified to millions. It's literally what they do best. pic.twitter.com/YnH54zSBU9 — Scott Hechinger (@ScottHech) October 27, 2022
x The NY Post is posting a variety of racist articles and inflammatory headlines.
They are investigating to make sure they can hire the hackers full time — J-L Cauvin (@JLCauvin) October 27, 2022
x Question: How can you tell if the NY Post got hacked? Do they start doing real journalism?? — Cliff Schecter (@cliffschecter) October 27, 2022
x Now the NY Post has to go through the racist tweets to figure out which ones they posted & which ones came from the hackers.

Oops. Looks like it was a rogue employee. Hmmmm. I wonder why he/she would be disgruntled.
