ITALIAN SENATORS opening attachments promising gay porn have tiggered the government's computer system.

The porn created a denial of service attack on the network and managers had to shut down the entire network and scrub it out with soap.

Cyber plods think that the attack was something to do with the sacking of an assistant to the upper house's vice president, after images of him attending a homosexual party in Rome surfaced. ยต
