The Cabinet Office said the claims were being treated with "the utmost seriousness"
The government says it is making "urgent inquiries" into reports Whitehall computers were used to make insulting comments about the Hillsborough disaster.
The Liverpool Echo reported that changes were made to Wikipedia entries about the tragedy.
Comments were posted from computers on Whitehall's secure intranet, it said.
The Cabinet Office said the claims were being treated with "the utmost seriousness".
"We thank the Liverpool Echo for bringing this to our attention," a spokesman said.
"No one should be in any doubt of the government's position regarding the Hillsborough disaster and its support for the families of the 96 victims and all those affected by the tragedy."
'Appropriate action' call
Steve Kelly, who lost his 38-year-old brother Michael at Hillsborough, said: "After all these years it's disgusting that people are still trying to put the knife into the families - we're good people.
"We've tried to maintain our dignity and people are still doing this sort of thing."
Sheila Coleman, spokeswoman for the Hillsborough Justice Campaign, said they will be talking to their legal team about "how to proceed".
"Clearly we'll be calling for an enquiry - we'll expect those responsible to be identified and appropriate action taken," she added.
The Liverpool football fans died after a crush at the FA Cup semi-final in April 1989.
New inquests, set to last a year, were ordered after new evidence revealed by the Hillsborough Independent Panel led to the original inquest verdicts being quashed.
