Navy Personnel Website Taken Over by Hackers
WASHINGTON, D.C. --- The United States Naval Bureau of Personnel website (www.bupers.navy.mil) was taken over by hackers early today, and according to first reports, users were redirected to a porn site.
But according to U. S. Navy public affairs officer Commander Randall Lescault, the traffic intended to the site did not go to a porn site but instead was sent to the State of Delaware Department of Transportation.
"It is hard to determine if this action came about because of routine hackers or had some terror connection," said Commander Lescault, "but we hope to have the site back online sometime later today. It is certainly a violation of our security, at any rate."
