Union Station leaders are investigating a potential hacking after an advertising video screen in the station’s main building started playing pornographic videos Monday evening.
Bystanders were shocked and abused while some people had a good laugh at the condition until an employee at one of the station’s restaurants finally managed to get it shut down. The whole accident has lasted for about 3 minutes and has left leaders still questioning how it could have happened.
The screens were newly installed within the station as part of a renewal project to update the building and improve facilities for customers. The digital promotion boards are touch-screen, and they usually represent a rotation of advertisements and public service advertisements,
Swaim-Staley (president and CEO of the Union Station Redevelopment Corp) said that the screen would remain off until leaders decide that they can prevent further video infiltration in the future.
