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!

Note the word "presumably" in my post I deliberately flagged it as an assumption because I DIDN'T want to make a statement of fact when I didn't know the facts.
YOU are the one making erroneous statements ("aunty believes") and presenting them as fact. I suggest you get out of your glass house before throwing any more stones.
