Asics apologizes after pornography ran on screens at central store in Auckland for hours

Pierluigi Paganini October 02, 2019

NZ Sports Store Apologises Over Porn Played on Big Screens

Hackers broadcasted pornography content on large television screens located above the Asics central store in Auckland for several hours.

The New Zealand branch of sports brand Asics apologized for an embarrassing incident that took place over the weekend. On Sunday, hackers broadcasted pornography content on large television screens above the Asics central Auckland store for several hours.

The Pornography ran on the Asics’s outdoor screens for at least nine hours, it was noticed by the staff at the shop around 10am on Sunday, when the store opened to the public.

Security officer Dwayne Hinango confirmed that the video played for almost two hours, but some witnesses said it had been running since 1am.

“An Asics store manager has apologised and says a full investigation is under way after pornography appeared on large TV screens above its Auckland central shop.” reported the New Zealand Herald.

“The store manager, who gave his name only as John, said the incident happened because of a cybersecurity breach – he was “100 per cent sure” the explicit videos had not been uploaded by one of his staff.”

Some people walking near the Asics store were shocked, including a mother that was with her seven-year-old son that defined the explicit content as “totally inappropriate and offensive.”

According to a post published by Asics New Zealand on Facebook, an attacker gained unauthorized access to its internal televisions.

“We would like to apologise to anyone who may have seen this.” states the post.

Asics confirmed that it was working with the help of online security suppliers to ensure secure its system and avoid similar incidents in the future.
