Gillingham MP’s site hacked again

Gillingham and Rainham MP Paul Clark has had his website hacked again.

Just over one month after the previous incident by a hacker calling himself ‘red virus’, the same hacker briefly took over the Junior Transport Minister’s website again.

After the previous incident, local blogger Alan Collins warned Internet users about the need for strong security, and was assured by Mr Clark’s office that their website was secure.

Mr Collins said ‘It is embarrassing for Mr Clark to see his website hacked a second time in a little over two months – but it is also worrying.

‘Mr Clark has assured people that his website is secure, yet it has now been hacked twice – by the same person!

‘I don’t know what the security arrangements are over at his website, but they need serious urgent review as they are quite obviously not working.’
