Not Your Average Webjacking

Pornographers jack Sheriff's domain name:

Aycock said the Sheriff's Office had owned the domain name since 1995, and that its registration is current. "When I was told about this, I thought they were kidding," he said.
"We dug out a receipt and we're paid up through November. When we find out who's responsible for this we're going to go after them. I am not very happy that this has happened."

The Sheriff may discover that precious few laws protect him and that prosectuing a Canadian company could be tricky.

UPDATE: The porn appears to be gone from http://www.osceolasheriff.org/, the domain in question.
