Offensive images including a picture of a swastika and a message referring to Shariah law were displayed on a digital billboard in the city of Cardiff, Wales after an alleged hacking.
The giant screen, located on the popular shopping destination on Queen Street, transmitted the far-right images Tuesday night, prompting a police investigation.
Screengrabs of the photos posted on the thread Politically Incorrect on 4Chan were shared on Twitter by /pol/ News Forever an account described as politically incorrect and always right.
The account claimed that some members of the group were able to hack the billboard.
Images of a swastika and a message that read, Warning. This is a Shariah controlled zone. No alcohol. No gambling. No porn, were projected onto the board.
A poster making the Orwellian reference Big Brother is watching you and memes, including one depicting US president Donald Trump as alt-right symbol Pepe the Frog, were also displayed.
South Wales police said they were investigating the incident after receiving a number of calls from passersby.
Cardiff Council confirmed it was aware of the incident and had contacted the company that operates the screen, reports Wales Online.
The screen was reportedly switched off at midnight Tuesday.
Outdoor advertising company blowUP media said it was looking into the incident.

4chan users claimed credit for the hijack
Hackers took control of the bigbillboard on Queens Street and replaced the advertising with memes, swastikas, and Islamophobic images on Tuesday evening.
Anonymous 4chan users claimed credit for the images, which varied froman Islamophobic message readingWARNING. This is a Shariah controlled zone, to Pepe the frog, a meme loved by the alt-right.
The billboard, which is above Superdrug, was switched off at midnight.
Among the images shown were also Donald Trump memes, a picture of journalist Peter Hitchens, and a Big Brother is watching you poster.
South Wales Police said they received a number of calls relating to the billboard and said they have alerted the city council and will investigate any crimes which may have been committed.
After the incident, posts began appearing on 4chans /pol/ board, with a related twitter account tweeting that users had a little fun.
Tompasser by, who witnessed the hacking tells The Tab Cardiff: I was surprised and shocked when I saw the pictures. I thought it was some elaborate prank, but was sick to my stomach to not only discover they were real, but had also been on display for several hours.
The Muslim community in Cardiff have worked hard to combat the stereotypes being propagated in the media. Someoneneeds to be held responsible for this.
blowUPMedia, the company who operate the billboard, have been contacted for comment.

Trump aide Stephen Miller took some heat after his first media briefing Wednesday, in which he downplayed the importance of Emma Lazaruss poem mounted on the Statue of Liberty and accused a CNN reporter of having a cosmopolitan bias.
But at least one viewer loved his messaging.
We need to clone Stephen Miller and appoint him to every Cabinet position, conservative pundit Ann Coulter tweeted. In another enthusiastic tweet, Coulter promoted the idea of a Miller political takeover, suggesting, Experts say many people voted for Trump because they want Stephen Miller running the country.
Assuming that Miller cant be cloned to replace all cabinet members, Coulter would at least want to see him take over the White House press shop. I wonder if it would help if all Trump spokesmen were as smart as Stephen Miller, she added.
Coulter also seemed to like Millers attack on CNNs Jim Acosta, whom she referred to as an idiot reporter.

Conservative firebrand Ann Coulter says marijuana is destroying the country.
She was speaking at Politicon, a nonpartisan political event over the weekend.
Coulter, who has a history of making very controversial -- and some might say offensive remarks went off when she was asked whether or not weed should be legal.
"You can legalize all the drugs you want when there isn't a welfare state. No marijuana makes people retarded, especially when they're young."

The debate started when Coulter's fellow panelist, Ana Kasparian brought up the racial differences between blacks and whites when it comes to marijuana charges.
Coulter pointed to a study that revealed black people are more likely to lie about their weed use than other races.
However, she didn't say who did the study or any information about the study to back up her claim. Meanwhile, Kasparian said no one should be prosecuted for marijuana possession calling it a waste of our resources.
