The BBC has stumbled upon a rather embarrassing Home Office website gaffe. One of links on the Office for Security and Counter Terrorism was linking to a Japanese porn site.

It was supposed to link to the Technical Advisory Board, but it seems a webmaster was working and browsing Japanese porn at the same time, and hence copy pasted the wrong link.

Interestingly the link was discovered when a bloke was trying to find out more about new ISP privacy regulations which come into effect today. Apparently the Home Office could do with a bit more privacy itself.

The BBC alerted the Home Office which took down the link, saying it would investigate the matter.
