A Russian website which hit the headlines by hacking into public and private webcams across the UK is purporting to show a feed from a pub in Canterbury.

The feed shows a spacious-looking bar with fruit machines and a pool table in the background and appears to update every half hour or so.

Yesterday data watchdogs warned households and businesses to be vigilant after the Russian hackers accessed cameras in towns and cities across the country.

Among the 500 supposedly live feeds was the one showed above.

Grid co-ordinates accompanying the image identify an area near The Cuban bar in High Street in the city centre.

Management were adamant it was not a feed from their bar.
