Hacked Best Buy TV Displays Porn; Customers Complain

Usually a mainstream movie is shown on the television screens at Best Buy, but some customers were quite surprised during a visit to a Greenville, S.C., store.

A video did not play, but a pornographic image popped-up on one of their screens for several minutes. One customer described the image as “extremely, extremely pornographic.” Others said that several children saw the screens. Best Buy Corporate has apologized for the incident, placing the blame on hackers.

“Two individuals accessed our store’s wireless signal to broadcast inappropriate content on a smart television display,” said a Best Buy spokesperson. “In both cases, we worked immediately to disable the inappropriate content. We greatly apologize for this unfortunate incident and we are working to ensure that it does not happen again.”
