UK Viagra Ads on High School’s Website!
12 10 2007UK Viagra Shuts Down British High School!
Nestled along the sleepy, southern coast of the United Kingdom and described by wikipedia as “known for its natural beauty and for its world-famous sailing based in Cowes.”, lies the Isle of Wight. Relatively innocent until Sandown High School made international headlines by having porn, casinos, and Pfizer UK Viagra ads on it’s website.
Of course, school administration denied all responsibility for the incident saying: “the links were added through internet spam” and pupils and parents were not to blame”. Ummm, excuse me? Internet spam did it?
Cath Scallon, deputy headteacher of Sandown High School, said: “It was the parents’ forum which was affected. We did discuss whether to have it password-protected but we decided to leave it open so prospective parents could look at it.”
More educators running software that they have no idea how to control. Apparently, the parent’s forum was allowing anyone to submit a post with absolutely zero security and zero moderation: any vandal’s dream come true; nice job teach.
It must have been the notorious UK Viagra Phantom Spammer.
