Humans make mistakes, and so does the government? A video file entitled "Sexy Babe" containing pornography somehow ended up on a U.S. state department's website.

Accidentally uploaded by a member of the public oil and gas division's page on Feb. 21, the porn clips were spotted on the Ohio Department of Natural Resources and stayed online for a week before it was discovered by a Dispatch reader and removed on Friday. The inaapropriate porn content also came with a host of music files and other non-official miscellaneous material.

Within the department's division of oil and gas site, there is a Risk Based Data Management System that contains "comprehensive well data for over 100,000 wells permitted since 1980." In other words, the visitors can also find a file transfer protocol or FTP site used mainly to allow companies to transfer large files such as maps to the website.

However, the function of the site was obviously exploited, since no credentials were required to upload material at the time, ultimately allowing any member of the public to transfer whatever data they wanted to the department's site. According to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources spokeswoman Eileen Corson, credentials will be required to transfer any documents from now on.

Luckily, Corson said the site was not hacked because it remained outside of the firewall with "no roots to the inside network."

"Someone was using it as cloud storage," she said. "Unfortunately, that happens."
