It appears that someone is going around buying up old, defunct academic conference web sites and holding them for ransom, by advertising pornographic products on them. See, for example:
ICCF10 conference

Robotics 2000 and Space 2000 conference. Albuquerque, NM, USA, February 28 - March 2, 2000

This scheme will not work because no one cares about an academic conference after it is over.
