A website for the UK Department of Transportation suddenly changed its purpose, leading people to adult content, as the entire DfT domain was directed to a WordPress plugin page. Instead of providing documents and showing traffic statistics, charts.dft.gov.uk showed people explicit porn clips.
"A disused, dormant page of the Department for Transport's Gov.uk website has been used", the department said, addressing the embarrassing situation. "No information or data has been lost or compromised. The website address has since been permanently deleted".
It remains unclear, however, if the website was hijacked and diverted or simply hacked.
