University Facebook page flooded with soft porn in embarrassing hack
One of Australia’s top universities has had images of a porn star and other inappropriate content shared on its Facebook page in an embarrassing hack.
Graphic images and links to soft-core porn were posted on The University of New South Wales Facebook page early this morning, shortly before it kicked off it’s Open day.
One of the posts, which has since been deleted, showed images of pornographic actress Mia Khalifa, while others showed pictures of women’s backsides and breasts.
Pictures of guns and instructions on how to French kiss were also posted on the Facebook page, which has close to 360,000 likes.
The hack left some students and Facebook users confused and disappointed.
'Not really appropriate for a world top 50 university is it UNSW,’ wrote Paul Walters.
‘This is pretty disgraceful. And embarrassing to our image on open day,’ added Hugh McMullen.
'If you can't even secure a freaking Facebook account, how can you be called the leading engineering institute in au?! Even a 10 year-old boy knows that," Adam Hongru Liu posted.
However others Facebook users were able to see the lighter side.
‘Either the IT guy went on clicking virus links, or he just got fired and decided to revenge tongue emoticon,' wrote Albert Hung Vincent Loo.'
'Go home, UNSW! You're drunk,' said Hasanul Rizqa.
'I should transfer to UNSW,' joked Meenesh Kumar.
A UNSW spokesperson said the site's administrators were alerted about a security breach early this morning.
"All avenues were tried internally to regain access to the site, but administrators had been locked out altogether," they said.
After making multiple attempts to contact Facebook, the University managed to regain access to the site. They have since removed all inappropriate content from the page.
"The University is concerned about the impact this has had on the UNSW community and will be working to determine the source of the breach," the spokesperson said.
