The website of computer games developer Lucas Arts was defaced over the weekend by a hacker who left Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles slogans on the front page.

According to reporters, the hacker left a message in Portuguese which read: "Brazil rules. I thank the master Splinter, without his training the Turtles would be nothing" - a reference to a cartoon rat who taught a band of pizza-munching mutant turtles their ninja skills in the cult US comic.

Lucasarts.com is the website for the electronic games division of George Lucas' Star Wars empire.
