Imagine driving to work on a normal boring day when you look up and see a billboard.. featuring a porn video? That is what some people experienced in Novorossiisk, Russia recently thanks to an old, 40-year old man decided he wanted to fine-tune his hacking skills while also entertaining people.
The man hacked into an internet server in Chechnya because he believed that the police wouldn't take the effort to investigate it so far away. He meant to make the 2 minute clip appear in a store in Moscow, not a billboard.
Traffic was backed up by 20 minutes as drivers slowed down to watch, and even film with their phones, this.. different billboard. To make this even more interesting, an elderly motorcyclist had a heart attack after watching this scene.
The unemployed man who we have to thank/blame is now facing two-years in prison. One affect that this will have on the people of Russia is that the Moscow Advertising Committee has decided to ban all video billboards. I wonder how the people of Novorossiisk will remember this unique experience.
