Florida Supreme Court Home Page Adorned With Porn

Florida Supreme Court Home Page Adorned With Porn TALLAHASSEE, Fla (Reuter) - A Florida court's Web page was restored Friday after two days' absence following a break-in by a hacker who placed pornographic images on the site. Court officials Wednesday took the state court system home page off-line after a computer hacker apparently broke into the site and added pictures of nude men and women in various stages of sexual activity. The photos caused a stir among those who use the court page to access Florida Supreme Court and Appellate Court decisions. The home page is normally a little more staid, with a plain wood-grained background and hypertext links. Prurient, but disappointed, surfers looking for thrills on the net gave the court system home page one of its busiest days ever Friday. "We've had a significant number of hits today on our home page," said Craig Waters, executive assistant to Florida Supreme Court Chief Justice Gerald Kogan. "With all the publicity surrounding this, a lot of people are curious." No files were tampered with and court records remained intact, Waters said. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement was contacted and was investigating the break in. Court officials intend to prosecute the perpetrator, Waters said. ========================================== Blake Wehlage <jwilk@iglou.com> ±» RëVðLû¡ØÑ Bø+ ©ÖmP@ñ¥ «± Goto: http://members.iglou.com/jwilk *********PGP KEY On Request*********
