Hackers had some fun with a billboard in Moscow today by replacing the original video, with footage of the adult kind. More specifically: “‘This was an attack by hackers on the computers, as a result of which one of the commercial video clips was swapped for an indecent video,’ Panno.ru commercial director Viktor Laptev told RIA-Novosti.”

He speculated the attack could have been linked to competition on the advertising market, or simply “hooliganism.” Witnesses said traffic crawled to a halt as unbelieving motorists craned their necks to stare at the *-rated clip which ran for about 20 minutes on the oversized screens.
