Fishing attack.

I found this phunny. Whistle

The UK's biggest fishing shop has been hacked, with its website redirecting keen anglers to an adult website.

Angling Direct, which sells fishing gear online and through stores, said it was hit by the attack late on Friday.

On top of the website redirect, its Twitter account has been compromised to also reference a porn site and to post contact details for the attacker.

On the same page as the one above is this https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-58413847

Which is slightly alarming for gun owners
 When you are dead, you do not know you are dead. All of the pain is felt by others. The same thing happens when you are stupid.

It was probably compromised as the result of a phishing attack.
