CONSERVATIVE NEWS WEBSITES HACKED, REPLACED WITH PAGE LEAKING PRIVATE
INFORMATION

Two conservative news websites – Human Events and The Post Millennial – were
hacked on Thursday evening and replaced with a page leaking private information.

Both websites were taken down by unnamed hackers and replaced with a fake coming
out letter purported to be written by Post Millennial senior editor Andy Ngo.

“Dear Readers of The Post Millennial, I am writing to you today to share
something deeply personal and important to me,” the letter opened. “After much
soul-searching, I have come to the realization that I am a trans individual, and
I would like to officially introduce myself as Angelina Ngo, a woman.”



At the end of the letter, the hacker concluded, “P.S. I am also sharing with you
all of our mailing lists, our subscriber database and the personal details of
all our writers and editors,” along with links to download the private
information.



The official Twitter accounts for both Human Events and The Post Millennial –
which was acquired by Human Events in 2022 – were also made private at the time
of the hack, though it uncertain whether this was the doing of the hacker or a
protective response by the owners of the websites.

An hour after the incident took place, the hacker’s note was removed from both
websites and replaced with a temporary page which read, “SITE UNDER MAINTENACE…
Sorry for any inconveinance.”



As of reporting, neither Ngo nor Post Millennial and Human Events
editor-in-chief Libby Emmons have issued statements on the incident.
