Actually, it was their website that was taken down yesterday due to a hacker using it for all kinds of nasty purposes. I discovered this issue earlier this week and worked on analysing the problem. The website was taken down within minutes once I had informed the Forth Estuary Transport Authority about the issue.

The full story, including the gruesome details, can be found on my company blog. It has also been picked up by The Register - read the news story here. There are also some follow-up blog postings for those folks that are interested.
