TRENTON, N.J. — A state Commerce and Economic Growth Commission Web site link to its "business resource center" took viewers Tuesday afternoon — and maybe for much longer — to full-color, hard-core teen pornography.
Learning of the cyber snafu, high-level state executives rushed to try to shut it down. But they initially encountered confusion. The porn popped up on some computers. On others, the link went to the proper business site.

Visibly embarrassed, aides to Gov. James E. McGreevey were baffled as to why and how it happened.

McGreevey's staffers said they alerted the Office of Information Technology, which eventually erased the state link to the site.
