The Paramus Borough website [contains adult language] has apparently been attacked by a hacker.
The site was taken over Wednesday morning by a message from someone identifying themselves as M03A4, reading, "OMG!! [y0] g0t hACKEd?!"
Steve Tessler, information technology specialist for the Borough, said the the site was taken down at about 8:15 a.m. The attacker does not seem to have targeted the Borough specifically, since two other sites on the server Paramus uses were also defaced, he said.
