A NUMBER of Spanish newspaper websites have been hacked.
The sites – including El Pais, El Mundo and Marca – are all part of the AEDE newspaper group.
A group of characters from children’s TV show Spongebob Squarepants currently appear on the site for five seconds, followed by a ‘Google News’ sign.
Google News was removed in Spain on December 16 following the country’s decision to implement a new intellectual property law.
Spongebob, that noted warrior of free speech.
