The U.S. Department of Homeland Security, in an effort to clamp down on websites that host and advertise child pornography, inadvertently shut down more than 84,000 innocent websites across the Internet.
In a Feb. 15 statement, the DHS announced the seizure of 10 domain names of websites that were believed to host or advertise child pornography. But one of those domains was actually a DNS server that managed hosting for up to 84,000 separate and independent websites, according to online news site torrentfreak.com.
