Jakarta Police Chief Muhammad Iriawan said today that the suspect, 24-year-old Samudera Al Hakam Ralial, admits he hacked the IT system of the billboard operator but claims that the broadcast of the porn movie was accidental.
Twitter in social media-mad Indonesia was set alight by the incident, which occurred not long after Friday prayers last week in the Muslim-majority country.
Many users posted clips of the billboard as it displayed a Japanese porn movie to passing traffic.
