GEN: Warning Re: author website "hijacking" (fwd)

[Peter Milbury <pmilbury@ERICIR.SYR.EDU>]

Dear LM_NET Colleagues,

Please read this message with care, and DO NOT click on the link. The
reason that I am posting it is due to the fact that many folks may be
linked to this respectable author's FORMER site, which has been hijacked
by pornographers.

Subject: Re: author website

I am trying to alert any and all that my website domain has been pirated by
someone outside the US and any librarian, child, teacher who clicks on my
name for a link to an author website will see porn. This is a serious
situation. My site must be UNLINKED immediately.
If I have to join LM-NET to release this message, I will do so per your
request. Hopefully, since this is a one time message alert, you might be able
to do so for me.
The website is listed all over the web under children's author links.
It is: http://www.bergenstein.com/SCBWI/vanlaan/vanlaan.htm
A lot, but not all filters will block this. I'm trying to alert all the
filters on the net to do so. If kids click on my name on certain web pages,
they can see porn.
Thanks for your immediate help.
Nancy Van Laan, Author of Children's Books
