High Tech Graffiti

Quote:
Spray paint graffiti hasn't fallen by the wayside, but as billboards get more high tech, so too have defacement methods. Clear Channel Communications recently fell victim to digital mischief when an 18-year-old hacker/graffiti artist named Skullphone hijacked ten of the company's most prominent billboards spread across Hollywood, Westwood, and Culver City. Skullphone's imagery appeared in between ad cycles, photos of which you can view here.

Nice. I couldn't even imagine how you would begin to compromise one of those things remotely. Did he crawl up onto the billboard or something? I saw a less "hacker-ish" approach a while back, but it's still a fun (and completely doable, providing you have the cash and time) project. I'm tempted to try it someday.

That is awesome. Lol I can't believe that guy shone the laser on the other guy's head lol. Atleast it was the back of his head.

Hmmm, funny thing is...it seems like if you have enough time it would be relatively easy. And money of course...
