SALT LAKE CITY A virtual poetry slam that was part of Black History Month events at Salt Lake Community College was commandeered on Thursday by unknown individuals who displayed racist and anti-Black messages as well as inappropriate images of children.
SLCC President Deneece Huftalin notified students of the ordeal in a letter noting her heart was heavy and disappointed. What was meant to be a liberating space for freedom of speech, creative expression and celebration was affronted inexcusably by online hackers, Huftalin wrote.
SLCC spokesman Joy Tlou said Friday that an ongoing investigation suggests the open-invitation videoconference call was Zoom bombed, which means the session was hijacked by a person or persons who inserted inappropriate content forcing the termination of the event.
