Hacked billboard in Moscow showed porn - stopped traffic

Fun one from the Reuters wire, apparently a billboard was hacked and instead of showing the usual sexually suggestive advertising, it showed hard core porn. Stunned motorists slammed on the breaks at the sight of the billboard, backing up traffic on the highway.

The owner of the advertising screen, which sits atop a main road about two km (1.2 miles) south of the Kremlin, told the state-run RIA news agency that hackers had broken into the screen's computer system and turned on the porn.

So, it wasn't the interns that decided to watch a little porn at night and forgot that the station monitor was connected to the billboard, then?
