Someone hacked into a 3Stars outdoor advertising screen on the Garden Ring road in Moscow about midnight last Thursday and ran a two-minute hardcore video clip.
The showing caused a massive traffic jam but city officials said the good news was that there were no traffic accidents.
3Stars commercial director Viktor Laptev said “There was a hacker attack as a result of which a commercial was replaced with an obscene video in the control computer. It is unclear whether it was an act of hooliganism or competitors’ intrigues.”
The Moscow city advertising committee will investigate.
