Brooklyn Community Board 5’s website is a Thai casino now

Brooklyn Community Board 5’s website, brooklyncb5.org, has been hijacked and now leads anyone who visits to a Thai slot-machine site. Bushwick Daily discovered it on Saturday, but the domain was in the hijackers’ hands by Aug. 26 at the latest, and possibly since April 29. The board’s X and Facebook accounts, the Brooklyn Borough President’s office and Wikipedia all still list brooklyncb5.org as the board’s website.
