Short Take: Australian government site hacked

The Australian government's Web site has been restored following a break-in, the Associated Press reported. Hackers changed Australian premier John Howard's title to "Prime Minister for Pain, Suffering, and Inequity." Other ministers' names led users to pornographic sites, the AP said. Australia will hold federal elections October 3.
