After a series of misplaced publications, the newspaper New York Post announced Thursday that his Twitter account and website have been hacked.
New York politicians and personalities had been questioning the misogynistic news and content with a violent tendency towards the governor of New York, Kathy Hochul and the congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortéz.
“Oye New York Post, did you get hacked today? Violence once morest women and women politicians is a global problem. It is dangerous and reckless to promote femicide. I request an investigation into this series of social media posts directed at Kathy Hochul and Alexandria Ocasio from their account. Now!” Dominican congressman Adriano Espaillat wrote.
The New York Post has been hacked. We are currently investigating the cause.

Minutes later the newspaper confirmed the hack. The news published on the front page of the newspaper is from this Thursday 26 at 4:28 pm
While, on their Twitter, where they have more than 2.8 million followers, some of the headlines that have caused suspicion are: “We must assassinate AOC of America”; “We should assassinate Joe and Hunter Biden”; “Zeldin: I’m going to rape and Hochul’s sorry pussy.”
Hey @NYPostwere you hacked today?
Violence once morest women and female politicians is a global issue. It is dangerous and reckless to promote femicide.

After the newspaper confirmed the hack, Espaillat tweeted once more urging the media outlet to take the necessary steps to resolve the situation.
“Violence once morest anyone is wrong. The threat of #cybersecurity it’s real… and we still don’t know what happened in 2016. I urge the NY Post & @Twitter to take immediate action to address current threats of violence and prevent future attacks,” Espaillat said.
