The BBC News app got hacked this morning displaying a weird breaking news alert about TV series Game of Thrones.
Users got a push notification which read: “Push sucks! Pull blows! BREAKING NEWS No nudity in latest episode of Game of Thrones!!! MORE BREAKING NEWS IIIIIII like testing”
I think someone at BBC breaking news alerts might have been on the sherry this morning. pic.twitter.com/ct1SZk0jZX

In an apology tweet, BBC said: “We apologise for previous two test push notifications which were sent in error to BBC News app subscribers.”
Oh dear. Someone is having a worse morning than you today. pic.twitter.com/aZN1EGfV0K
