Baghdad closes LED advert screens after hacker shows porn film on a screen

Iraqi here *facepalm* again it&#x27;s not a spooky cyber attack, it&#x27;s the stupid way they operate these screens, they use anydesk and teamviewer to control them, they&#x27;re hooked to windows machines and often times they show the desktop and user&#x2F;password is displayed on the big screen<p>Here is a real life pic by a friend <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;imgur.com&#x2F;a&#x2F;g0LB9vt" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;imgur.com&#x2F;a&#x2F;g0LB9vt</a>

I wonder how many times do these animated advertisement screens near roads or highways needs to be hacked in a similar way in order to make them disappear. Can they be problematic frequently enough to make the companies just get rid of them?<p>Wish it was as easy as installing an adblocker.

If only this was all it would take in the USA to shut down all LED billboards.

Talk about rapid incident response: they cut the power cable! (If it&#x27;s a careful translation, presumably in contrast to just cutting the power.) It&#x27;s interesting how priorities dictate whether or not physical damage is an acceptable way to fix a problem.<p><pre><code> The hacker “showed a pornographic film for several minutes before we cut the power cable,” he said.</code></pre>

Ha! I suppose it had to happen eventually. I wonder how long it&#x27;ll be before this meme spreads and the big boys in street advertising like JCDecaux become targets for hacking.

If only this was just a convenient way to remove a billboard instead of a small part of Iraq&#x27;s incredibly unhealthy sex culture.

So looks like they got breached, wich might explain the Telegram drama, I was wondering why would they choose to specifically ban Telegram but not Signal or Whatsapp, tools of the mossad<p>I need to dig

The Las Vegas Sphere was powered down during the recent DEFCON conference.<p>Nothing was officially stated, but it was rumored they didn’t want to risk anything like this happening.

A tale as old as time -<p>&quot;Police arrested the suspect and said he was a maintenance worker for a firm that maintains billboards in the city.<p>According to the police, the employee had a financial dispute with the company and, in order to take revenge, showed porn on the screen instead of advertising.&quot;<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;kvira.ge&#x2F;859826" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;kvira.ge&#x2F;859826</a> (NSFW maybe?)
