The coders at BYU Black Ops rely heavily on the ultra smart students down at the Ira A. Fulton College of Engineering. Mav may have to enlist the Cyber-Jesuits at the L'Osservatore Romano to clear this insidious invasion.

Or are we just assuming it is random cyber-criminals who just randomly happen to be redirecting us to a TLD from a tiny and obscure Polynesian island with an 8x higher per-capita concentration of Mormons than the United States?


With Mormon membership dropping at a rapid rate due to the availability of information on the internet, maybe the apostles have come up with a new plan.

Hacking the anti's web sites. Of course, one would expect the redirects to go to LDS.org instead of porn sites.

This wasn't a planned attack. Most likely this site has a security vulnerability and a bot that crawls sites found it and exploited it.
