Visit Cambridge site hacked

Cambridge City Council’s Visit Cambridge tourism site has been hacked, with various unsavoury pictures and links added, reports the Cambridge News:

CAMBRIDGE’S official tourism website was still offline today after pornographic images were posted in place of pictures of the historic city…

It comes after horrified bed and breakfast owners were shocked to log on to the site, run by Cambridge City Council, to find hardcore images of couples having sex and people exposing themselves for the camera.

Ooops. Here’s a screenshot from Cambridge News’ site:

  1. Ut oh! Good to see some site security in place there! (rolls-eyes)

  2. What made me laugh most was the “Censored” website screen shot with all the slurrs and porn and directly below the words: “Related posts: What should a council website look like?”

    Ha!
