A hack of The New York Post’s website that saw vile tweets posted to the paper’s official Twitter feed was the work of an employee, the paper has said.

In a statement provided to The Independent, a spokesperson for the Post said: “The New York Post’s investigation indicates that the unauthorised conduct was committed by an employee, and we are taking appropriate action.”
