boos and anger
The incident left angry reactions among the residents of the capital, Baghdad, considering what happened as an insult to public decency, and an offense that must be punished, commensurate with the horror of what happened.
In an interview with Sky News Arabia, the Iraqi digital expert and specialist in cybersecurity, Muhammad Abdullah, says:
- The perpetrator tried to justify his disgraceful behavior by insulting the company that owns the screen in which he works, claiming that there are differences between them, which means that this sabotage act stems from malicious reasons and to tarnish the company’s image.
- In addition, piracy offends public taste and is an immoral act that must be held accountable, because even hackers usually have a specific goal or a specific message they want to deliver, and not hacking just to view a porn clip.
How was it hacked?
The hacking mechanism in such cases is through manipulation and control of the broadcast source and control, as the ads are displayed on the screen in two ways, either they are connected to the Internet and with several security holes in them, the hacker can exploit them and control the content displayed on the screen.
Or that the display takes place through external tools and ports such as a memory card or CDs, and the displayed content is manipulated by controlling the main broadcast tool.
