Last morning the National Police received a curious call about one of the illuminated signs on the commercial street Preciados, in the heart of Madrid. Apparently, instead of displaying commercial products, as usual, the screen played over and over a pornographic video from the well-known Pornhub website . Of course, with Spanish product, starring the pornographic actor from Ciudad Real Ángel Mejías, better known by his stage name “Jordi, el niño polla”. The illuminated sign had to be disconnected by firefighters and municipal agents after the hacker managed to reproduce the pornographic content.
As reported by ABC, the alert call was given by a neighbor in the area surprised by the content of the light. Given the impossibility of disconnecting the announcement, the National Police decided to cover the marquee with a blanket and contact the fire department . It was these and different municipal agents who finally cut the pornographic broadcast. Of course, it has already begun to investigate what happened with those responsible for the announcement, which depends on the Clear Channel company.
A hacker accessed the ad monitor
Police sources blame the incident on a computer hacker who accessed the illuminated sign to disrupt the usual programming. In this way, he decided to change the usual product advertisements in this type of canopy for a pornographic video from the well-known Pornhub website. As we mentioned, the content is starring the Spanish actor Jordi El Niño Polla, and has been the sensation of many passers-by in the center of the Spanish capital.
Several of these users have echoed on the social network Twitter with photos and videos of the marquee in question. And, although the sign has finally been deactivated, there are already a large number of tweets, messages and even videos showing both the content of the illuminated sign and the reactions of the pedestrians on this busy shopping street.

At the moment the status of the investigation is unknown. What is clear is that the protection of electronic devices that we come across on a daily basis is not entirely secure, leading to events like last night.
