Ohio State University has become the target of affiliate spam for the past few months. Its College of Education website was exploited last month. This time, its Principal’s Office website (http://principalsoffice.osu.edu) has fallen a victim to affiliate spam.

Ohio State University’s Principal’s Office is used by K12 school administrators to exchange information. According to its website, the

“purpose of the site is to build a virtual community of school principals learning from each other. The editorial board hopes you will find the format informative, easy to navigate, and important to you as a personal professional development tool.”
