The word is "hijacked". There is allot of that going on - it is a security problem. Happened to me. I reported it to Google and they replied "We are sorry this has happened to you". I still don't know if it was via my computer, my ISP or Google????

Apologies to anyone who has been inconvenienced or offended by these fraudsters. -- Trish Dublin, Ireland ______________________________

[...] Some years ago, a web-page with interactive demonstrations of map projections was copied onto a dutch university site. The university has since revamped its site, and the copied page doesn't seem to appear on the new pages - but they didn't clear their old web pages, so it's still out there (though Google doesn't pick it up), and has a link to it from the original author in case anyone wants to see an early version of the genuine page.
