Northumbria Police Authority website defaced, fixed, but the hack lives on in Google's cache

According to Boyd – aka Paperghost on Twitter – whilst the police authority is listed as `an authority for the Northumbria Police, it is the information that Google is currently returning that most internet users will be looking at:

The Northumbria Police Authority website was hacked by lamine Foued ( Dr.F0u3D). F*** You admin. Freedom For T.H.T Anonymous Tunisia :D."

As Boyd observes, this isn't quite a 187 on an undercover cop - in fact, it's nothing like that - but the hackers have still done a number on the website.

Infosecurity notes that, after the GFI researcher published the Google search data on his latest security blog, it mysteriously disappeared, but it lives on in the main Google Cache.

“Well, the defacement may have been cleaned up, but the Northumbria Police Authority have another problem at the scene of the crime. And by `problem' I mean `Paypal phish making a gang sign from the comfort of the Northumbria Police Authority website', he says in his latest blog.
