SACRAMENTO, Oct. 4 California state government's Internet and email service was shut down for several hours Tuesday after a hacker hit a county Web site.

A spokesman for Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said federal regulators suspended the state's Internet and e-mail service after someone hacked into a county Web site that contained the domain name ca.gov and redirected people to a pornography site, the Los Angeles Times said Wednesday.

The state system was not hacked, the spokesman said.
