Very relieved Hawaiians went straight to PornHub after getting missile alert all clear
Hawaii's mistaken missile alert prompted many of us to think what we'd do in the last moments of our life if a bomb came hurtling towards us.
PornHub released statistics for the island state after the alert was sent out on Saturday, revealing a sharp drop of 77 percent below the average in the minutes immediately following the emergency notification.
But as soon as Hawaiians got the all clear approximately 38 minutes later, there was only er, celebration on their minds.
The porn site said it received 48 percent higher than average traffic at 9:01 a.m. HST. Good on you, Hawaii.
As for the alert, just how it all happened is quite worrying. Hawaii's Emergency Management Agency's cybersecurity practices were brought into question, as a press photo revealed a password scrawled on a Post-It note.
However, the alert happened because a staffer selected the wrong option in a dropdown menu, according to the agency. Just great.
