B.C. government Facebook page restored after brief hacking Monday
VANCOUVER – The provincial government has tweeted an apology after its Facebook page was hit by hackers.

A partial photo of a person in camouflage and what appeared to be Arabic script was briefly posted.
The site was quickly restored and was operating normally Tuesday.
No other government sites were involved.
A statement from the government says its staff worked with Facebook to resolve the problem as quickly as possible.
