USbusiness and media publication Fast Company said it shut down its website on Tuesday evening after the site was hacked and sent "obscene and racist" notifications to Apple users via the iPhone maker's Apple News service."We are investigating the situation and have suspended the feed & shutdown FastCompany.com until we are certain the situation has been resolved," the publication said in a tweet.

News publishers who use the Apple News aggregation app connect their digital publishing tools to Apple News to send push notifications to Apple customers. Fast Company said hackers broke into those publishing tools.
