Indonesian police have arrested a man accused of hacking into a public billboard in Jakarta and streaming a pornographic film.

The 24-year-old IT analyst has admitted the crime, said police, for which he could face up to six years in jail.

Motorists were left in shock last week when footage from a Japanese porn film was displayed on an electronic screen in south Jakarta.

The video ran for five minutes on Friday before power was eventually cut.

However the clip had already been captured on many mobile phones and soon spread across social media.

The man, who was arrested in his office, allegedly carried out the prank after seeing login details displayed on the billboard.

Now that's a hack!

    1. being stuck in the slow lane would actually be a *good* thing.

    2. that freeway now needs an "extra slow" lane

    3. now we know what the "hard shoulder" is for...

    Bring a new meaning to the term "pull off the road".

    Wonder how many folks who had stopped and ended up late for work told the boss they had "crankshaft problems"
