UK: Bodmin College website offline after it was hacked with obscenities

Posted on August 4, 2015 by Dissent

Ah, I missed this one from last week. On July 30th, CG_Oscar reported:

A disgruntled former student is thought to be responsible for hacking Bodmin College’s website.

People finding the website online are confronted with a series of obscenities.

Although the home page is still active, other pages are no longer available to view.

IT technicians have been working to resolve the problem and delete the foul language from the site.

Well, it seems that the Bodmin College site is down as of August 4, even though on July 31, Cornish Guardian reported that it was back up and running.
