Initial reports out of the U.S say the Apple News app was compromised on Tuesday night New York time
Someone was able to send a push notification with graphic and racist language.
This is a screenshot posted by a user, shared on social media, showing the damage from the hack.
“THRAX WAS HERE,” the end of the message said.
Apple News users received a push notification with explicit language.
