Facebook Iceland under hacker attack?

It appears the Icelandic version of Facebook may have fallen victim to computer hackers and inserted the Icelandic word for paedophile where it usually says ‘Like this’.

The possible attack is only visible on companies’ and groups’ Facebook pages, and not individuals’.

Mbl.is reports that no explanation for the substituted word has been found. The worst case is that Facebook Iceland has fallen victim to hackers; but it could also have been caused by a translation error.

One internet user who contacted mbl.is described getting a highly unpleasant feeling upon seeing the word on screen.
