The appearance of porn clip on an Ohio state government website has prompted the agency to beef up its security measures.
According to the Huffington Post, the Columbus Dispatch revealed that a dirty little video titled "Sexy Babe" was discovered on the Ohio Department of Natural Resources website on Feb. 28 after being uploaded on Feb. 21. The file was reportedly found tucked away in the FTP section of the site that companies utilize for exchanging information about oil and gas well information.
Eileen Corson, spokeswoman for ODNR, explained that credentials aren't required to upload files to the FTP site. "Someone was using it as cloud storage," Corson told the Columbus Dispatch. "Unfortunately, that happens."
Basically, anyone who thinks they're funny could be responsible for this. Moving forward, specific login credentials will be needed to access the site, which is obviously for the best.
