Children's Ice Rink Blames Hackers After Accidentally Playing Porn On All Its Televisions
Source - You can see the entire video here. Hardcore pornography was shown on TV screens positioned around a children’s ice-skating rink when sets inside a shopping centre were ‘hacked’ in St Petersburg.
An investigation is under way in the Russian city after the raunchy clip appeared while youngsters enjoyed the Rio shopping centre’s rink. The centre’s managers said they will punish those responsible.
It is believed that hackers broadcast the porn film in place of the public information messages and advertisements that normally appear on the screens.
Fortunately, there was no sound with the four-minute clip and most children on the ice did not even notice the rude interruption. St Petersburg, the world’s most northerly major city, is regarded as Russia’s cultural capital.
Hackers targeting a children’s ice rink seems highly unlikely. There’s no pay off. The kids are too focused on their milk crates and the parents aren’t even there. Porn in Russia is as common as dash cam video. Just ask Dvoyniye Standarti:
“For many years, the entire country got porn on the Dom 2 reality show on TV. Nobody got punished, nobody got jailed. Here they showed the video for only four minutes and people start panicking. Stop being hypocrites.”
I’m with ya girl- a little T&A never hurt anyone. Besides, Dom 2 reality used to play for hours. This video played for FOUR minutes until anyone noticed. If it was soft-core it could’ve run for an hour.
I’m willing to bet this was an HDMI mix up. Whatever high school kid they had handing out skates probably got bored and wanted some me time. Walked into the back just like he does every shift, except this time he wanted to try the big screen. Only problem is he plugged the HDMI into the wrong port causing an unintentional POV viewing party. As soon as he noticed he called his boss and said they’d been hacked. If I were him I would’ve taken the Kevin Durant route and copped to the crime up but that’s just me. It’s guys this like this that give all the good hackers a bad name. Consider this case closed.
