    Someone "snapped" a URL address on Orin Hatch's official site!!!

    http://www.newbritainherald.com/site...id=10110&rfi=6

    ‘Porn-napping’ linked to city

    Herald Press Staff and wire reports

    NEW BRITAIN -- U.S. Sen. Orrin Hatch’s Web site -- like the sites of most of those serving in Congress -- contains links to the Republican senator’s biographical information, constituent services and legislative accomplishments.

    Earlier this week, a part of the Utah senator’s site -- http://www.senate.gov/--hatch/ -- focused on links to Utah’s natural wonders -- including those of some well-endowed women.

    A link on the senator’s site invited users to "Explore Utah," but rather than finding the pristine mountaintops, "what they got was BigNaturals.com, an X-rated Web site dedicated to buxom models," The Salt Lake City Tribune reported.

    The link from the conservative senator’s Web site had been "porn-napped" -- apparently by a resident of the Hardware City.

    Rick Broadhead, an author penning a book on Internet mishaps, told the Associated Press that "porn-napping" is becoming a common form of cybersquatting. Porn site operators pick up domain names from other users after the registration has expired.

    According to the Associated Press, Hatch’s site was linked to a Utah-related search engine whose address was snatched up on May 14 by Tim Bach of New Britain.

    The Herald Press confirmed Bach’s ownership of the site through a search of Internet registrations. Repeated requests for comment -- both by telephone and via e-mail -- were not returned Saturday.

    BigNaturals.com is registered to Miami-based RK Netmedia Inc.

    Ernesto Morales, RK Netmedia Inc.’s operating officer, told The Salt Lake City Tribune "that a Tim Bach with the same hometown also was listed as one of RK Netmedia’s resellers."

    Calls to RK Netmedia Inc.’s Miami offices on Saturday were not answered.

    Kevin Cowk, owner of TheGlobalSearch.com, said a Utah resident who had essentially run the original search-engine site as a GlobalSearch franchise let it lapse, but he was furious that someone else had swooped in on it.

    "I am so ticked off at them personally that if I find them I will throttle their children," said Cowk, the latest porn-napping victim. In April, a Michigan United Way affiliate had its Web site taken over by a pornography site operator. A Chicago power company, Florida sheriff’s office and a city in Illinois have all had their old Web sites porn-napped, as well.
