As if the university has not suffered enough, a form of "cyber graffiti" has been used to threaten the campus of Virginia Tech (VT). VT sent out an on-campus advisory Thursday morning after threats were posted in a video on YouTube. The mashup video includes threatening comments made on several videos of VT gunman Seung-Hui Cho. It was posted on the YouTube page of someone using the screen name "NextKillerVirgTech." That account has since been deleted.
According to the site, the page had been created on Oct. 21 by a 21-year-old living in the United States. It's unclear if any of that information is correct, but authorities currently believe it is likely the posting occurred overseas.
The message sent out by VT reads:
Virginia Tech Police have observed a You Tube posting making threats against the Virginia Tech community. We have received no direct threats at the university. The Virginia State Police and the FBI are assisting the university police. Currently,law enforcement believes the comments may have originated overseas. They are continuing their investigation. We will post again if new information emerges.In April of 2007, Seung-Hui Cho killed 32 students and faculty members on campus, before killing himself.

A common hacktivist method is to intentionally alter an already existing web site. Cyber graffiti, as it is commonly reffered to by academics, is a temporary defacement of the "cyber presence" of a company or organization.
