The sun website has been hacked

Www.thesun.co.uk

It's automatically redirecting to http://www.new-times.co.uk/sun/

Bugger. Just tried the link and arrived at The Sun home page. Now trying to erase the image from my mind!

OP - you may need to clear your cache ('ipconfig /flushdns' from a command line or just reboot), or check for malware. Otherwise your ISP may have been hacked.

Will do, I'm stuck on an iPad so hopefully no chance of malware.

Now directing to a twitter page called

The Lulz Boat
@LulzSec

smile

One of the tweets on it

LulzSec The Lulz Boat
It would appear new-times.co.uk has been hit so hard with redirects that it's now down. That would explain it... we're laughing quite hard

Now posting hacked Sun data on their twitter. You always read about these things a day or two after they happen, interesting to "see it live"
