Hackers Pop Porn Onto TVs at Best Buy Store
Boob Tube? A Best Buy in Greenville, South Carolina fell victim to hackers who posted pornographic photos on in-store smart TV displays using the electronics store’s own WiFi.
Gloria Berg, who saw the images of a man and woman while shopping with her son and his children, filed a complaint with local police. ”I have never watched pornography,” claimed the woman, ”so I don’t know what else you can see there, but to me, I really felt extremely violated.” You know who probably watched a ton of porn? Mr. Berg, judging from the statements by Mrs. Berg.
Best Buy issued an official statement, indicating this was not the first time. ”Two individuals accessed our store’s wireless signal to broadcast inappropriate content on a smart television display. 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.”
Best Buy. Where only the prices are doing the screwing.
