The state of California’s elections and business website appears to be hosting pornography and cash apps as seen through a web search on Dec. 4, 2025.
The state of California’s official elections and business registration websites appear to have been compromised by pornography and cash app peddlers.
Google users searching for information related to the sites, both of which are overseen by the California secretary of state, were directed to PDFs with links and titles that include “My friends hot mom” and “Japanese Sex Video Porn Videos sexy.”
Those links, which appear connected to the state government website, were interspersed with legitimate web address for the business services and other information provided by the secretary of state.
