Goa – Brisbane’s broadcast roadside digital billboard network, which runs more than 70 digital billboards around south-east Queensland – has been hit by a cyberattack after hackers displayed pornography on one of its billboards that sits along one of Brisbane’s busiest roads.

The out-of-home company said the billboard on Milton Road “began to show inappropriate content of a pornographic nature” on Sunday, and has provided police with images of people who “may be able to help with their inquiries”.
