Brian Krebs at the Washington Post is reporting that the web site for the Lawrence Livermore National Labs has been inadvertently hosting malicious content and spam.

The Lawrence Livermore National Labs are responsible for the safety and integrity of the US nuclear arsenal but if the allegations are true they seem to not even be able to keep their web server safe.

Dozens of pages belonging to the official Web site of Lawrence Livermore National Labs appear to have been seeded with the unauthorized advertisements. Beneath each of the full-page ads were a series of blog entries that featured a bizarre mixture of information, including what appears to be ill-translated gibberish interspersed with information that is actually relevant to the advertised drugs.

Security Fix located the pharmacy spam pages by conducting a series of simple Google searches, such as this one.

Is it just me or doesn’t the Livermore National Labs seem to have some type of security problem every other month? If these clowns can’t get their act together they should be fired.
