ANC website hacked

“The African National Congress (ANC) wishes to distance itself from a selection of embarrassing links placed on the organisation’s website by someone who has hacked into the ANC site,” said spokesperson Brian Sokutu. [Hacked ANC website screenshot here]

“The ANC will take all the necessary steps to remove the adverts – some advertising pornography – which have nothing to do with the ANC.

“We did not place the content and have no relation with the person that hacked into our website to embarrass the ANC.

“A website should not be vulnerable and the ANC will take all steps necessary to ensure this does not recur,” Sokutu said in a statement.

Adverts on the party’s home page on www.anc.org.za were offering the following to web users: free porn, penis enlargement, prefabrik, cortix, tarot, reverse mortgage, security system report, jet charter, APC battery, autism, a dating service and website promotion.
