This is slightly misleading. No pages were defaced, no hacking or security
breaches were involved. What happened was that these comments were posted
to a section of the Number 10 site where anyone can post messages and
comments (after registering). Saying that the Downing Street pages were
"hijacked" is a bit like saying that Slashdot was hijacked because some
A.C.'s posted some off-topic messages attacking the US Government.
Typical of what I've come to expect from News International's newspapers
(Times, Sunday Times, Sun, etc.).
