Associated Press that a hacker attack is likely to blame. City police
say they have yet to receive any complaints and have not opened an
investigation. Russian news agency RIA Novosti quoted a city official as saying that
Moscow will bolster security of data transmission to ad screens. Mobile phone camera footage has been posted on popular video-sharing
