Apple News users received a push notification with a racial slur and other offensive language, possibly as a result of a hack. Hacking is a massive issue in today's very modern and connected world. While many companies do their best to protect themselves against malicious actors. Last week, one of gaming's largest and most secretive developers, Rockstar Games, was hacked.
Yet another hack appears to have happened and this time, resulting in an incredibly gross message being displayed on people's devices. As reported by The Wrap, a bunch of Apple News users took to social media on September 27th to report a push notification sent from Fast Company, a business magazine that focuses on tech, business, and design. The push notification included an offensive message with a racial slur and obscene, sexually-charged language.
These kinds of hacks are not uncommon and it seems unlikely it will go unpunished given how seriously everyone involved takes these matters. Only time will tell what comes of it and we will continue to keep you posted if Apple or Fast Company releases any kind of statement on the matter. The issue is certainly upsetting and many social media users are expressing their frustration publicly, even tagging Apple and Fast Company in an attempt to get some kind of answer out of the two companies.
