Microsoft's YouTube channel has been hacked.
It appears that the official Microsoft’s YouTube channel has been hacked, and that the hacker has removed all the company’s videos, and replaced them with 3 short (5-10 second) videos.
The videos that the hacker (or hackers) uploaded were to ask someone to design a YouTube background for their newly hacked account and that they would provide some sort of sponsorship. The hacker also posted a bulletin:
This is how the channel looks as of 9:45 a.m (PDT):
No details yet on how the hacking even occurred, but there was a YouTube user who left a comment with his/hers theory of how the account was hacked:
This is how he “hacked” the channel:
He legittly made the account Microsoft when youtube wasn’t that big but the REAL Microsoft probably asked Youtube to disable it and give it to them. The flaw is that this account was probably still linked to this kid’s email and microsoft forgot to change it.The kid Just logged into Account Using His Old Email. Thats a Purely Coincidence...This is how the other big Channels got “hacked”.
This Shows How Youtube is Safe and this is the third big YouTube channel that was hacked (SesameStreet, Fred and now Microsoft).
