Gay cyber-vigilantes ?
Computer monitors throughout the Italian Senate have been hit by a hack attack that has left staff unable to access e-mail and hardcore gay porn on screens throughout the building.
The computers had been infected by the Rbot Trojan, which offers up control of the computer to the hacker.
The problem was first noticed on Monday morning. Staff are also unable to access the internet or word-processing programmes.
The recent firing of the Senate's vice-president, Dario Mattiello, following revelations that he had visited a gay establishment in Rome, together with comments made by Italy's rejected candidate for EU commissioner, Rocco Butiglione, that homosexuality is a sin, have led to suggestions that the attack may have been orchestrated by gay cyber-vigilantes.
