August 25th, 2009 Tayside Police have restored their website following an embarrassing defacement late last week.
Surfers visiting the site from late afternoon on Thursday were confronted by a defacement, claimed in the name of Scottish comedian Frankie Boyle, and accompanied by notes more in the style of Irvine Welsh than Jim Taggart.
The text included in the defacement suggests the site – tayside.police.uk – was compromised via poor password security, though this remains unconfirmed.
