Wait...what?  It's not the Cybermen?  But the news article quite clearly says in its headline that the Vatican has been subjected to a cyber attack, well silly me, maybe I should have read further than the headline.

Oh, I get it now.  It was an attack on the Vatican web-site.  I wonder what terrible effects were utilised to carry out such a terrible event.  DOS attack?  Hacked server?  System compromise? I'll let the Catholic press explain:

On Saturday, any user who typed the word "Vatican" into the search field on Google's Web page was directed to the site "www.pedofilo.com" as the first suggestion, rather than the proper Vatican Web page.

 Users who entered this site proposed by the search engine viewed a blank page.

So not really a 'cyber attack' then Zenit? So much for the sensationalist headline. The Vatican web-site suffered no more than a Google Bomb.  Still I shouldn't really be surprised that an organisation steeped in Middle Age thinking and values fails to understand the simplest of modern concepts.  What made me chuckle in the linked article however was this paragraph:

Although the person who caused this problem has not been found, the indications suggested that the operation may have been carried out by someone who had significant knowledge of how Google functions.

Or anyone over the age of 11, don't those priests talk to the children they 'minister'* to?
 
*And by 'minister' I quite obviously mean rape, abuse, chastise and then cover up and lie about it.
