A hacker created some dysfunction for the National Republican Congressional Committee this weekend by covering its website with links to ads for Viagra and Cialis.

The hack was spotted Sunday by a BuzzFeed reporter, who tweeted an image of the page replaced by the flood of blue links to erectile dysfunction remedies.

An NRCC spokesman later reported that the organization was working to fix the embarrassing problem.

Still, the hack still remained visible at nrcc.org as recently as Monday morning.

The hack happened weeks after after the NRCC website was redesigned to attract younger, Internet-savvy readers by with viral content heavy on lists and GIFs.
