A bizarre incident caught the Town of Irricana by surprise on February 16th.

A group known as the "Turk Hack Team" hacked into the town's website and published a story that included nothing more than html code and a couple photos.

The Town's office was notified late that morning and the hacked story was quickly deleted.

This same group is believed to be behind a hack on the British Police website on February 15th and on the US Library Congress website last summer.
