A large electronic billboard overlooking one of Egypt's busiest highways was hacked on Thursday, 29 October, to broadcast sexually explicit footage, prompting an investigation into the security of remotely managed public screens.
The display, along the 26th of July Corridor in Giza, near Cairo, drew attention after motorists stopped to film the images. Videos circulated on social media, carrying a watermark directing viewers to a Telegram channel linked to a hacking group.
