Youtube Hacked

[Christopher]

Can anyone else conform they see this? It looks like Youtube has been hacked. You'll notice when you click on almost any video that 1. The videos do not show up in the right like usual 2. Almost every page has a "<script><script>IF_HTML_FUNCTION?"

I've even seen some redirects to a few website. I have a feeling Youtube has been taken over. Which is pretty damn impressive.

lol I know right? He'll probably end up working for Google.

I took a look at the code and it looks like they where launching simple scripts via the comment box. I'm surprised Google doesn't have a filtering system. I can see see it now, most Google techs at home BBQ'ing. One guy is sitting at the Google office looking up booty shake videos when he realizes the comment hacks "son of a..."

I managed to hack into one lady's account and had it suspended...now if I learned how to hack into servers and all that crud...I'd replace EVERY comment with the word: poop...or something like that, idk

not all comments are blocked. might just be on that one video.

At around 9am this morning all comments had been placed on safe mode (Including videos from our account) But they cleared up the issue pretty quickly.

i love how a HUGE company gets hacked, and they are all like "it was no big deal, it's all good now. carry on.", lol.

The only way I could hack a computer is if I use an ax!
