It was the site not his individual PC.  The SmithBucklin (SBA aka Red Ribbon 
folks at SHARE) IT team was notified and did respond.   The badly behaved 
penguin has been removed.  I expect that review and incident response is still 
in progress.

Perhaps a good time to point out that http://blackhat.com  Black Hat is only a 
few months away July 25-30. For the really hard core this is followed 
immediately by DEFCON http://www.defcon.org 

Both web sites feature useful historical archives even if you know you won't be 
going to Las Vegas for these security conferences.

I just went there and I don't see any rude penguin at all.  Did they fix
it that fast, or did something happen to your path to the share.org site
and you got mis-routed to a fake webpage?
