Hackers hit a billboard in the wealthy Atlanta suburb of Buckhead - unleashing the infamous Goatse image on the unsuspecting residents.

"There’s an electronic billboard that is flashing a naked man," one woman said in a 911 call according to WSB TV 2. "It's not actually an emergency; it's just totally disgusting.”

Eventually the billboard operator cut the power.

A hacking group calling itself the assangeshuffle claimed credit for the gaping anus attack on Reddit, saying; "Ironically, we didn't realise that Buckhead was an incredibly affluent neighbourhood, which makes the whole thing terrifically good fun.

"Burn the rich.

"Anyway, keep an eye out. Buckhead was far from the only place that had some gaping holes exposed!"

"I know people from the pizza place were sitting and having to see it while they ate,” said Buckhead resident Allison.

The FBI are currently investigating, but the hackers aren't worried, claiming to be behind 7 proxies.
