Hundreds of thousands of website users trying to access local news have been effected by a virus that has been injected into a Newsquest server we can reveal.

Web users trying to access many of the Newsquest titles are having their phones or web site browsers hijacked, greeting them with a thank you for your loyalty message following a security breach.
The virus that is present on many of the newspaper group sites then hijacks the users browser and redirects them to an unconnected prize web site with offers of the chance to win prizes.

One internal source said that Newquest spend a lot of money on firewalls to protect its users and this has left them very red faced following the security breach.
