(Reuters) – U.S. business and media publication Fast Company’s Apple News account was hacked on Tuesday evening, the company said, prompting it to shut down the website.
Apple Inc (NASDAQ:)’s Apple News, had also disabled their channel with the Fast Company, the news aggregator app said in a tweet.
Hackers sent two “obscene and racist push notifications” about a minute apart, Fast Company said, adding, it had suspended the Apple News feed until the situation was resolved.
“We are investigating the situation and have suspended the feed & shutdown FastCompany.com until we are certain the situation has been resolved,” the publication said its tweet.
Fast Company’s website was down, with the page displaying a 404 error.
Fast Company is owned by publishing firm Mansueto Ventures LLC.
