Some users who tried to view Blue Mountain Community College’s Web site this week saw pornographic images instead. A computer attacker had redirected one of the Oregon college’s Web addresses to a site promising “adult webcam girls.”
The incident happened while administrators were switching to a new Web address, bluecc.edu Malicious hackers hijacked the old address and set it so that users who had bookmarked the old address, or who found the site through a Google search, got a surprise, according to a report in the East Oregonian.
The problem has now been corrected, and officials say no sensitive information was breached. —Jeffrey R. Young
