‘All the support of our institution and of the government of Mexico will go to the family of our friend.’



The company who own the advertising board apologised to anyone who had seen the video in San Antonio, Mexico City, which they believed was shown due to hacking.

A spokesman for Carteleras.com, said: ‘We know the discomfort of this to passersby, drivers and society in general.

‘Therefore we are investigating the case with authorities.’

One motorist on the Periferico Sur motorway used his phone to record the giant advertisement panel as it displayed the porn in the middle of the day.

The authorities have asked owners of this kind of advertisement to improve their security measures in order to avoid a repeat of the porn hacking.
