The Sun gets hacked

I went to Google and stuck in "the Sun", as per usual it popped up with top on the list spewing its description of news showbiz celebrities blah blah. You click on the link and...

It goes onto the the sun website and you see the usual rubbish of gossip and celebrity on the beach scandal. Top journalism, high class reporting or what ever you want to call it.
All of a sudden however there is a redirect and then this below appears.
And a spiffing cartoon further down the page.




The hack is being claimed by the international ring of 13year old boys with too much time on their hands aka Anonymous. Good for them. Great to see these big companies taken back a peg or two. They are like mini revolutions. Done in the night where nobody sees the revolution, then everything goes back to the way it was waiting on the next one to appear.

UPDATE: As the cartoon suggested, the attack has been claimed by Lulz Sec and they have now directed thesun.co.uk to their twitter feed.  
Their twitter feed built up to the attack with various digs and suggestions and using the hash tag
