Dear Sir,
Here is our explanation of the mishap:
–

The Island becomes a victim of net terrorism

We wish to bring to the notice of our readers that there has been a sinister attempt by an unknown group to disrupt the operations of this newspaper through electronic means. It all began in 2006, when a London-based correspondent warned us against such a move.

Recently, another newspaper, too, became a victim of hackers who tampered with its website.

The e-mail accounts of The Island Editor and its Features Editor are the targets through which they have sought to disrupt our system with specially designed programmes. We adopted precautions but on Tuesday, when we usually print the children’s section, we got badly beaten. We believe an infected junk document had eaten into an innocent poem that a young contributor had sent in to share with others, after the proof reading stage. Its effects were noticed on Thursday as well in the main section of the paper but we managed to eliminate them in time for printing.

We have initiated a thorough investigation into the incident and apologise to our readers, especially children, for the mishap.

Hacking my ass...lol...theres no virus with sumsorta AI to specifically target thet particular section and replace a specific part of it with sumthing else...not to mention the page formatting and other bullshit associated with printing. Besides how the hell is a "junk document" going to eat into a kids contribution??
