New hit on Google Maps. This time the hacker added a racist tag to the White House where US President Barack Obama resides, with the result that if someone searches for the term "nigga house" they will be automatically redirected to the map showing the presidential residence. 
The Google Maps has been the target of pranksters lately, and as it turns out the service has a pretty lax security system. Although the company had promised to retire the map customizer, either he didn't or the hacker discovered a new security hole that allowed him to customize.
One of the most recent pranks was the well-known robot-logo of Android that on a map somewhere in Pakistan, it appeared to urs the Apple logo. As expected, friends of Apple and Google were not so pleased with the insult photo.
In an attempt to avoid similar situations, Pavithra Kanakarajan, a Google Maps spokesman, announced that the Map Maker tool will be retired until a safe solution is found.
However, this measure did not seem to be very effective, as the maps were again vandalized.
This time hack is not funny, as it is a racist attack.
The TMZ website, which published the new intervention on Google Maps, contacted the company, which replied: "We apologize for any criminal act that may cause the incident. Our teams are working to rectify this issue immediately. "
As it appears, the company's employees acted promptly by removing the hoarse prank.
The identity of the person behind the prank remains a mystery.
