Four departments had security problems with their Web pages, leading to a decision to take nearly all of the state's Internet site down on Friday morning. By late afternoon, nearly all of the state's site had been put back online. The problems arose at pages of the departments of Labor and Industry, Education, and Military and Veterans Affairs, as well as the Pennsylvania Lottery's page. Investigators tracked the source to a domain registered in China, she said.
