OFA Using a Temporary Web Site

OFA -- an association of floriculture professionals -- set up a temporary Web site after a foreign entity attacked theirs.

OFA has established this temporary Web site while it deals with the fraudulent hijacking of its domain name ofa.org.

The OFA Web site (www.ofa .org) was hijacked June 12 by a foreign entity. As a result, OFA does not currently have ownership or control of its domain name ofanet.org. While we try to resolve this, the association has established a temporary Web site at www.ofanet.org.

OFA owns the ofanet.org domain name until 2015. The organization is investigating the fraudulent transfer of ofanet.org to another party.

There is ano personal data about association members or Short Course registrants on the OFA Web site, the the organization says, adding information has not been compromised.

Temporary e-mails have been established for each OFA staff member:
