And with a name like FETA, I was rather expecting it to point to a site in Greece...

you just get finished painting the website and you have to start again...

The feta webside was hacked to show porn? How cheesy.

I'll get it myself, don't get up.

Nice, the Forth Estuary has it's own transport website.

Well, there is a vacancy for summertime pleasure cruises in the future maybe but since the Scottish Executive ruled that the tolls be scrapped I find the idea of a "recruitment" link a bit of a laugh.

"hacked in order to serve up pop-up ads for porn sites."

I know it sounds smug but as an Adblock user--

What's a pop-up?

Damn! Beat me to it.

Is it just me, or does anyone else find that cheesy?

The hat with the ponpon and matching shoes, please...

My thoughts exactly. How many other bridges have their own websites, I wonder?

"It really is about time that web-hosting organisations got their acts together and took the security of their clients seriously."

While I certainly agree that many organisations need to look a lot more seriously at how they control the security of their equipment and websites, I think it's somewhat heavy handed to just assume that the fault here was with the sites web hosting company.

From the limited information given about what happened here it sounds very similar to a large number of hacks which were done at the end of last year covering thousands of different web sites, pointing visitors towards malicious .js pages to install malware on their machines. In that case it was actually a SQL injection attack that caused the problem, and I wouldn't be suprised if the same was true here.

Now since in many cases (I'd even hazard to say most) the company that hosts the webserver is not the same as the one who designs and develops the website, perhaps you should be directing your annoyance at the developers who are not preventing the SQL injection, rather than the poor hosting guys who have no control over the website code running on their servers.

There's plenty wrong with that screenshot - IE6, Google Toolbar, and the Yahoo toolbar :-)

Paris HIlton icon because - like a bridge, most people have ridden on her at some point.

I should imagine that there are quite a few websites devoted to Galloping Gertie - the (old) Tacoma Narrows Bridge - and maybe to its modern-day version, the footbridge across the Thames to Tate Modern.

Says Paris Hilton herself. Thats not IE6 its Firefox!

The Millau Viaduct has its own website: http://www.leviaducdemillau.com/index.html

I have to say it is also just a tad more exciting to cross than the Forth Bridge, although the latter does score by having Edinburgh at one end.

... has its own site, too <http://www.humberbridge.co.uk/>. Not as exciting as the Millau viaduct, and has Hull at one end - there is no justice.

The Golden Gate Bridge, of course:

Though the 'GGB Suicide Barrier Study' link on the front page is a little disturbing..

Dead vulture - did 'e jump, or was 'e pushed?

Sydney, Australia's got one too: http://www.sydneyharbourbridge.com.au/

I bet if you wasted enough time you'd find lots of bridges have websites.

Oresund Bridge

Le Pont du Gard

I'm sure there's more...

Surely a bridge too far !!

In my opinion, anyone who uses iframe these days is asking for trouble. Bank of India and an Italian bank were hacked this way last year.

Someone had to say it......

It made me chuckle on a dull Friday morning.

and now I will get ma coat....

"I have to say it is also just a tad more exciting to cross than the Forth Bridge, although the latter does score by having Edinburgh at one end."

However, the Forth Bridge then loses all said points for connecting us with "Inbred ned land". Also known as Fife.
