LG's Australian website was hijacked and defaced with an elaborate message over the weekend and as of this afternoon it has still not been restored.

The website, lge.com.au, was down on Saturday morning after it was defaced by a hacker team calling itself "Intra". It has yet to be restored but LG's other website, lg.com.au, doesn't appear to have been affected.

Part of the message put on LG's home page by the attackers.

"It seems as though your website has been hacked. How did we get past your security? ....... What security? ;)," read a message on the site before it was pulled down.

The breach has been archived by Zone-H.com, which is a comprehensive database of website takeovers. It sends out a daily alert containing dozens of new compromised websites and it is not uncommon for Australian government and company websites to be included on the list.
