Hacker Disrupts State's Website

By Mark Bevis on Wednesday, February 9, 2005.

State officials are hoping to find the hacker who broke into the state's website Tuesday and forced it to close.

The Web site went back up after the server was replaced.

Associate Professor Gary Kessler teaches Computer and Digital Forensics at Champlain College in Burlington, Vermont.

He tells NHPR's Mark Bevis that while it seems no real damage was done, we can bet the people in the charge of the website are taking it quite seriously.
