HOUSTON -- The Houston Airport System redirected to an adults-only Web site for a few hours Monday.
The Web site
www.fly2houston.com, owned by the city of Houston, is designed to be an information source for fliers.
"I don't know what happened to the site," Houston Airport System spokesperson Marlene McClinton said.
People who visited the site for a few hours on Monday were redirected to an adults-only Web site, owned by a producer and talent scout for Playboy.
"Of course, we apologize to anyone who was inconvenienced," McClinton said. "We are beginning an investigation to see exactly what happened technically."
McClinton said the Web site breach should not worry travelers.
"It is not in any way connected to any security data from the airport, any personal data involving anyone at the airport or anyone flying through the airport," McClinton said.
The owner of the adults-only Web site said she is also trying to figure out what went wrong. She said her Web site has not been updated in more than a year.
