The Royal Navy Website has been taken offline after it was "compromised" 
by a hacker, the Ministry of Defence said today.

A Navy spokesman said no "malicious damage" had been caused by the cyber 
attack, which was now being investigated by security teams.

A hacker operating under the name TinKode claimed to have compromised

internet.

Visitors to the Navy website this morning were greeted with the message: 
"Unfortunately the Royal Navy website is currently undergoing essential 
maintenance. Please visit again shortly."
