NOAA Website Hacked by Pill-Pushing Spammers

Ryan Naraine writes on Zero Day:

The U.S. government's NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) Web site has been hijacked by spammers peddling prescription pills.

The news section of NOAA's Climate Monitoring & Diagnostics Laboratory has been rigged with about 70 spam pages touting Soma, a prescription-only muscle relaxer.

The spam pages contain Russian-language banner ads, suggesting a link to notorious spam rings operating out of Eastern Europe.
