The usually-staid official twitter account for the government in Wales left its followers shocked this afternoon after posting a graphic pornography clip.
Officials have apologised after explicit imagery was retweeted by the government account, before being quickly deleted.
The mishap was caused by a cyber attack as opposed to an accidental slip of the hand, according to its latest tweet.
