Hackers Put Porn Vids On Promo Screens Above Asics Store and Detroit Billboard
dryriver shares a report from CNN: Sports brand Asics has issued an apology after "objectionable content" played on the screens above its store in Auckland, New Zealand. Pornographic videos were shown on promotional screens for hours outside an Asics store in Auckland, New Zealand on Sunday morning, the New Zealand Herald reported. The Japanese sportswear brand apologized Sunday, saying the material had been played above its central Auckland store due to a hack. "This morning an unknown person gained access to the screens above our Central Auckland store and some objectionable content was displayed on the screens," said the statement published on Asics New Zealand's Facebook page. Security officer Dwayne Hinagano told the New Zealand Herald that an explicit sex video played for hours and was seen by startled passers-by. "The video ran for a long time, maybe two hours from 8am until the shop staff arrived at about 10am. Some people were shocked, but others just stopped and watched," Hinagano told the news outlet, which also cited witnesses who said the video had been running since 1 a.m. Over the weekend, two hackers managed to upload a porn video to an interstate billboard outside Detroit. According to news reports, the pornography played for about 20 minutes before it was removed. "Police in the suburb of Auburn Hills said in a statement that the unidentified pair, who appear to be young white men, were captured by video shortly before 11 p.m. Saturday breaking into a building at the base of the electronic billboard on Interstate 75," reports NBC News. "The building, which is surrounded by a six-foot fence and is unstaffed, houses the computer that controls the sign, a police official told NBC affiliate WDIV."Read more of this story at Slashdot.
