Hackers have accessed a Metropolitan Police website and emblazoned the homepage with an image of a fluffy toy monster.
The character Brobee, from children's TV series Yo Gabba Gabba, is named Officer Brobee on the careers site.
The turquoise and orange monster is quoted, saying: "Oh hai guys, do joo wanna bes a policeman lulz?
"I see that teh so15 anti-terrorism anti-lulz police are hiring more incompetent nervy edgy sociopaths to make London's streets just that little bit safer! Oh lulz.
"Shouts to l0g1kal for being such a leet dude and to Lulkitteh for being so fancy."
A Met Police spokeswoman said: "We are aware of an unauthorised image and text having been placed on the Metropolitan Police careers internet site.
"The site is managed by an external company who are responsible for its upkeep. We will discuss this with the service provider at the earliest possible time."
