Jul 29, 2011
Nicolas Sarkozy 's official Elysee Palace website Hacked for ' Get Him Out ' Game Hackers have attacked Nicolas Sarkozy's official Elysee Palace website to create a game video game called ' Get Him Out '. Under the formal banner introducing the site, a cartoon image of the French president was pictured on a go-kart heading towards the gates of the palace. For each click on a Facebook 'like' button beside the game, the French leader moved one step closer out into the street. The instructions to the game read: " The more you click, the faster we can get little Nicolas out! ". The Elysee palace confirmed a hacking attack had taken place on Tuesday night, but that the 'problem' had been fixed by 7am on Wednesday. A spokesman added: " The hackers took advantage of an old software system to temporarily re-route the welcome page.
