Pornographic hackers ‘Zoom bomb’ Kentucky Auditor’s Office meeting

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WAVE) – A Zoom meeting held by the Kentucky Auditor’s Office was suddenly ended Thursday morning after hackers got onto the call and disrupted what was happening.

The State Committee for School District Audits (SCSDA), a committee that specializes in school spending that the auditor’s office serves as the chair of, was meeting Thursday morning to discuss spending within the JCPS school district. It was a publicly held meeting.

Everything came to an abrupt end, however, when unknown hackers jumped onto the meeting and began showing pornographic images on the screen to everyone who was on the meeting.

The meeting was quickly shut down, but the damage was done.

It’s not the first time such a hacking has happened. It’s a phenomenon called “Zoom bombing” that has became popular for hackers during the pandemic to cause disruptions of public meetings like the one Thursday morning.

The auditor’s office said that, by state law, “the meetings are made publicly available for anyone to attend. Despite internal precautions to ensure a smooth meeting, unfortunately, there were disruptive individuals present. Once the disruption was taken care of, the meeting proceeded accordingly.”

There has been no indication from the auditor’s office, though, on who may have been responsible for the disruption.

A spokesperson for the auditor’s office said Thursday night that, because there was not a quorum present at the meeting, no actions were taken aside from discussion. The next scheduled meeting is set for September 12.

Watch: Blast brings down Northern Kentucky bridge

COVINGTON, Ky. (WKRC) – The Licking River Bridge was demolished Monday morning in a controlled blast, clearing the way for a replacement structure.

Authorities established a 1,000-foot safety perimeter, closed nearby roads and asked residents to shelter in place before the demolition. The bridge collapsed within seconds of the blast.

“Today we say goodbye to a bridge that has served Kentuckians for nearly a century and we make room for something new. A signature bridge that is safer, stronger and we make room for something new,” Gov. Andy Beshear said. “This region, like the rest of the commonwealth, is evolving, it is booming, it’s economy growing every day. What we’re doing together is building our new Kentucky home.”

The Licking River Bridge is now history after crews brought it down with a controlled demolition Monday morning. (WKRC)

Crews will begin construction on the new bridge after debris removal is complete. The replacement bridge is expected to open in the summer of 2028.
