New York Post Twitter Account Apparently Hacked

The New York Post's main Twitter account was apparently compromised on Friday, sending a series of apparently untrue tweets on military and macroeconomic topics. The same tweets were also seen on the Twitter account of the wire service UPI.

The attack follows Monday's exploitation of U.S. Central Command's Twitter and YouTube accounts, which suddenly started spouting pro-ISIS messages. The FBI and the Department of Defense are investigating that compromise.

Markets did not move on the tweets, some of which were immediately deleted.
