Yagan Square of Perth City has Porn Display on its Electronic Screen

Commuters at the rush hour passing one crowded public square inside Perth recently had to view an electronic screen about 2 meters in size showing one pornography website. The display was of Pornhub's homepage and the place was Yagan Square. Apparently, hackers had targeted the screen's digital infrastructure on April 6, that people usually took help of for moving about in the city.

According to one commuter who happened to be at the place around 6pm, several people passing the place glanced again at the screen, found it funny, and had a giggle; however, a couple looking at it felt quite shaken. The screen wasn't huge, however, very prominent, the commuter told ABC. Dailymail.co.uk posted this, April 6, 2018.

Speaking to news.com.au a Metropolitan Redevelopment Authority (MRA) spokeswoman said authorities removed the offending display immediately as they knew about it. There are 2 touch-screens at Yagan Square which have signs helping find city routes. The touch-screens are posted at the William Street Mall's two entrances.

Evidently, on Thursday evening somebody compromised the 2 screens for a short time span when on a particular screen there was display of certain inappropriate content. Instantly, the 2 screens were shutdown while electricity connection for the units too has been cut for preventing any possibility of the incident happening again. The other screen situated at William Street Mall's other entrance too seemed compromised, however, there was no offensive content on it.

A post on Facebook said Information Technology's first rule is not to trust the general crowd by giving them an Internet with free range.

The MRA spokeswoman explained that the highly unsuitable display came on for one short time period, while she assured there would be one complete investigation into the incident. Yagan Square got inaugurated in March 2018 and it contains one children's park. Earlier according to Mark McGowan WA Premier, the ten year project of $73m was Perth city's new heart.

The novel Yagan Square area reportedly has approximately 80,000 people navigating through it each day. However, mysteriously unknown is what number of people attempted at following the screen at the time the porn images came on.
