One of the most important features of a thriving metropolis is a clean, modern public transportation system. Politicians love to have an efficient and reliable means of transit to impress tourists and to make life easier for those who live or work in the city.
That being said, waiting for a train or bus to arrive is really boring regardless of how nice it is.
While it’s not quite as bad as spending hours in traffic getting to work, standing around a train station can be a monotonous way to start your day. Though some may use the time to read or play on their phone, the average street savvy commuter knows to always keep an eye on their surroundings- otherwise you may miss the porn.
Earlier this month at the Yagan Square train station in Perth, Australia, a hacker compromised a touch screen kiosk and changed the display from an information application to the front page of Pornhub. The station is part of long running project to create a public facility that politicians promised would be the “heart of the city.” Thanks to the poor security on a publicly accessible computer it also briefly became Perth’s throbbing erection. Noice.
This isn’t the first time we’ve heard about a transit station becoming overrun by porn loving pranksters. Could we be looking at the work of a bored person with basic computer skills or a nefarious serial hacker?
A while back we read about train station in China who experienced a similar problem when a giant outdoor display suddenly began showing hardcore pornography. Since the Chinese government has a number of public decency laws, this caused quite a commotion as the display was typically used to play advertisements to commuters.
Meanwhile in Perth, most Australians realized the public porn was probably a prank and had a hearty laugh before an employee of the Metropolitan Redevelopment Authority that maintains Yagan Square turned the whole device off to be repaired.
They should have left it up! It would have made the commute to work a lot more enjoyable.
