YouTube Hacked And Attacks Justin Beiber

July 4, 2010 in News by Zach Scott

Earlier in the day, a group from 4Chan used an exploit in the YouTube comment system that allowed 4Chan to insert html code that would run on a video page and displayed links stating that the site was hacked and directing viewers to click links that lead to porn websites.  The 4Chan members attacked mostly Justin Beiber videos; within one hour of the attack starting and the flood of twitter comments, YouTube had turned off comments and fixed the issue that allowed the HTML in the comments to be executed in under two hours.
