Police in Russia have arrested a hacker who caused gridlock by beaming a porn film on a giant billboard in central Moscow.
An unemployed 40-year-old man from the Black Sea port of Novorossiysk has been detained for the offence, reports Kommersant daily.
A special division of the Interior Ministry responsible for investigating IT crimes made the arrest, the newspaper reported.
The 30ft by 20ft screen switched from screening ads to hardcore porn for 20 minutes on January 14, instantly bringing the city centre to a standstill.
Drivers recorded the incident on their mobile phones and later uploaded it to YouTube where it became a massive hit.
The man, whose name was not disclosed, reportedly admitted the crime but said he thought it would be shown on a screen in a shop in Moscow to a much smaller audience and would "entertain people".
The man said he had hacked into a server of an organisation in Chechnya and changed the video in the playlist of the advertising agency from there.
He man now faces up to two years in prison for unlawful access to computer information and unlawful distribution of pornography.
