If only the porn hackers had targeted Kenney’s war room or AER instead; they wouldn’t have had to change anything, since their work is obscene anyway!

Alberta government website domain hijacked by porn hacker by Bill Kaufmann, Jan 15, 2020, Calgary Herald

Online porn-seekers might have been surprised to find their efforts hooking them up with an Alberta government website domain, say provincial officials. [funnyyyyy!!!!]

They say a hacker had defaced the alberta.ca domain by replacing content with links to commercial and pornographic websites.

Provincial government staff were alerted to the X-rated cyber caper Jan. 8 by the B.C. government’s chief information officer, said Service Alberta spokeswoman Tricia Velthuizen.

“It was linked to an old Ministry of Environment and Parks site not in use since 2013 and re-directed to look like it was alberta.ca,” she said.

“We are actively working with both the Ministry of Environment and Parks and Microsoft to identify the current site owner and we made sure the sites were removed on Jan 9.”

Though it’s unclear how long the re-direction had been going on, no government or personal information was compromised, said Velthuizen.

A Calgarian who didn’t want his name used said he stumbled on the hacking’s results, adding “there was an extremely extensive cache of explicit material,” some of it on adult websites originating in Russia.

“It was leading back to alberta.ca.”

Velthuizen said they were alerted to the hacking from outside the province because “we weren’t watching it, [instead, we’re too busy propagandizing for the oil and gas industry with our war room and running to Ottawa begging Trudeau to make Canadians pay to clean up the endless messes and abandoned wells we irresponsibly let companies, often profiting billions of dollars annually, leave behind] it wasn’t our site, it wasn’t an active government site.”

“As soon as it was raised, we started working on its removal.”

Alberta.ca is a website that provides access to information on government services and initiatives.
