Kluang council shuts down LED screens after obscene video appears in suspected hack

KLUANG, Oct 30 — The Kluang Municipal Council (MPK) has fallen victim to a cyber attack, resulting in obscene content being displayed on its public message LED screens. The council is now launching an investigation into the incident, working alongside the screen's vendor to determine the cause of the hack. The MPK has also notified the Johor Housing and Local Government Committee chairman, Datuk Mohd Jafni Md Shukor, who has confirmed the issue.

The incident has been captured on a Facebook video, which has since been removed, and the footage displayed a watermark attributed to the Leakers.Gov cyber hacking group. The public backlash from the offensive content has prompted the MPK to shut down all LED screens under its jurisdiction as a precautionary measure. The MPK has apologized for any inconvenience caused to the Kluang community.
