Gloucester County Schools website hacked with Islamic message
A Gloucester County Public Schools website was hacked by someone posting Islamic messages.
Posted — UpdatedAccording to the superintendent of Gloucester County Public Schools, their hosting site "SchoolDesk.net" was hacked.
The main page of the schools websites was replaced with images of Saddam Hussein and a pro-Islamic state message.
Superintendent Dr. Walter Clemons received a call from the Gloucester County Sheriff's Office around 2 a.m.
The site was taken down around 6:30 a.m. and fixed by 8 a.m.
The FBI and Department of Homeland Security have both been notified. The main host site has also hired a private computer security company to investigate the hack.
"What's troubling about this situation is that the FBI and Homeland [Security] aren't sure how the firewall was hacked," Jim Brogan, IT director for Gloucester County Schools said.
The hack is still being investigated.
