Hackers entered a building in Brussels, went up to the top floor and got into the computer that controlled what was described as Belgium's largest electronic billboard. They replaced a drinks advertisement with a troll-face image and the text 'Hi BXL'. Passers-by reportedly welcomed the stunt, but the Brussels municipality objected.
