— Baghdad (AFP)
Iraqi authorities on Sunday ordered the shutdown of LED advertisement screens installed across Baghdad after a hacker managed to show a pornographic film on one, security forces said, announcing the arrest of a suspect.
On Saturday evening, "a person managed to hack into an advertising screen in Uqba bin Nafia Square", a major intersection at the centre of the Iraqi capital, a security source who requested anonymity told AFP.
The hacker "showed a pornographic film for several minutes before we cut the power cable," he said.
Videos of the pornographic film being screened as cars passed by in central Baghdad were widely shared on social media.
