New Jersey and Porn Spam: Hey, Clean up your Website

by: Hopeful

Sat Sep 01, 2007 at 08:20:14 PM EDT

So, I was reading this Washington Post Security Fix post about how spyware and porn information has been planted in many government and school sites:

It would be great if the compromised Web servers I wrote about last week at Lawrence Livermore National Labs were an aberration, but sadly they are not. Conducting a simple Google search for adult-themed search terms found in ".gov" domains produces some very interesting results, including pages serving up adult videos along with a generous helping of spyware.

So I tried searching google with "site:nj.us free porn", and then I tried "site: rutgers.edu" 

My advice:

Morris County needs to clean up its Guestbook.

Hunterdon Central High School needs to clean up its weblogs.

Rutgers should look into some of the comments on some forums.

I'm not talking about discussions of sex or government warning about porn, this is porn spam, and it helps spread security problems.

No links provided, and clicking on the sites is supposed to be dangerous (especially if you  have an old Windows computer.)  But if it's true that any politicians read this site, why not call up those responsible...
