An unidentified hacker has hijacked Spain's official website for its presidency of the European Union, inserting a large smiling picture of comic character Mr Bean.
The supposed resemblance of the bumbling slapstick character played by Rowan Atkinson to Spain's Socialist Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero has been a running joke in Spain for years.
An official at Zapatero's office confirmed the security breach, but added that no information on the site had been affected.
