Computer hacker plants porno on Air Force Web page December 30, 1996

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A hacker pulled a prank on the U.S. Air 
Force Sunday, sneaking onto its Web site and replacing a page 
of aviation statistics with a pornographic picture.

As a result, the Pentagon's "DefensLINK" Web site, which 
includes about 80 home pages, was shut down for more than 24 
hours while officials ensured there were no other security 
breaches . 

The hackers apparently were able to wipe out one of the Air 
Force's pages and set up a dummy page at the Web site 
address. (http://www.af.mil).

Instead of containing facts and figures on fighter jets and 
force strength, the page showed a photo of a man and two 
women involved in a sex act. 

The Air Force said that the scene was put on the Net
about 5 a.m. EST Sunday and removed by 11 a.m.  All Defense 
Department Web sites were taken off line for about 24 hours 
while the Pentagon checked their systems for other lapses in 
security.

Air Force officials were apparently made aware of the 
intrusion by members of the news media who had received 
anonymous phone calls draw their attention to the 
pornography. 

Capt. Terry Bowman, said, "We take all attempts by computer 
vandals very seriously."

Bowman, who is the head of the Air Force's office of 
Technology Integration, said, "We continually review our 
security procedures to maintain the integrity of the 
information on our site."
