An educational website run by accountants Ernst & Young has been replaced by a Euro 'teen sluts' porn site.
And it's not the work of hackers either, but rather the tight fisted accountants themselves who refused to pay the £25 to keep the domain registered for another year.
The site, moneyopolis.org, was originally another domain name used for Ernst & Young's Moneyopolis educational accountancy game, used as a teaching aid by educational establishments, which currently resides at moneyopolis.com.
Apparently the sites came up for re-registration in June this year, but Ernst & Young only re-registered the .com domain. The other was snapped up by a porn peddler and now offers "160,000 Uncensored XXX Teen Pics" and "165,000 Barely Legal Teen Movies".
Ernst & Young has now issued a warning to users of the Moneyopolis game to update their bookmarks as children visiting the learning site may get an education of an altogether different nature.
