SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — The Utah Attorney General’s Office is investigating the hacking of a video call hosted by a gubernatorial candidate who saw the call hijacked by pornographic images and racial slurs on Thursday. A spokeswoman for Republican Aimee Winder Newton said she was about five minutes into the virtual event on the Zoom platform when the trouble began as all 130 state delegates on the call were unmuted. She says the call was hosted on a Utah GOP account, but hacker disabled administrative control, so the moderators were unable to stop the images when they began flashing on the screen
