The UK interior ministry's home page was mistakenly linked to a Japanese porn website, a government spokesman said Tuesday. The Home Office was alerted to the issue by the BBC on Monday after a private Internet user informed the broadcaster.
"It was a link from the Home Office website to the Technical Advisory Board, which is an external website," a Home Office spokesman said. "It is their website that was hacked and redirected to a porn site. We have removed the link and are now investigating the matter."

Hahaha, all because of that idiot Jackie Smith and her husbands porn viewing paid for out of "expenses". The security of everything in Britain is rubbish.

"will be investigated"
you won't need to take your investigation too far, just look over to the webmaster in the next cubicle.
