The court in Hillsborough, Florida apparently missed the Zoom-bombing memo.

Early Wednesday morning, as officials digitally gathered to argue over bail for Graham Ivan Clark, the Florida teen accused of hacking Twitter late last month, the familiar but unexpected sound of pornography disrupted the proceedings. According to cybersecurity reporter Brian Krebs, who was watching the hearing in real time, whoever set up the Zoom call hadn't put in place protections against uninvited guests hijacking the stream.

"Predictably, the Zoom hearing for the 17-year-old alleged Twitter hacker in Fla. was bombed multiple times, with the final bombing of a pornhub clip ending the zoom portion of the proceedings," wrote Krebs.

The "disruption" to Clark's hearing was confirmed by the Tampa Bay Times, which reports that the interruptions got so bad that Hillsborough Circuit Judge Christopher C. Nash at one point had to end the entire hearing.

Andrew Warren, the state attorney for Florida's 13th Judicial Circuit, was on the call and was seen looking quite shocked at the disruption.

"That is apparently my 'someone just interrupted our court proceeding with pornography' face," he wrote. "First and hopefully last time I ever make it."

Jen Wieczner, a senior writer at Fortune Magazine, managed to capture one of the less ribald interruptions.

In the end, Judge Nash kept Clark's bail at $725,000.

Also, maybe he learned to secure his Zoom calls?
