Hackers add porn to Sesame Street YouTube channel

[Mave]

Sesame Street's YouTube channel was hacked today, leaving its normally family friendly content replaced with pornographic content, according to a report on the tech blog The Next Web.

YouTube had the content removed in 22 minutes, according to the report, and as of this writing, the show's channel has been replaced by a message saying it is unavailable.

YouTube representatives declined to comment on Sesame Street's incident but said the removal of the content was in keeping with user guidelines.

"YouTube's Community Guidelines prohibit graphic content," a YouTube spokesperson said. "As always, we remove inappropriate material as soon as we are made aware of it."

Hackers also altered the Sesame Street YouTube channel's profile page to add the name MrEdxwx as the user, according to a screenshot posted by Naked Security. The profile also included the following message:

WHO DOESN'T LOVE PORN KIDS? RIGHT! EVERYONE LOVES IT! IM MREDXWX AND MY PARTNER MRSUICIDER91 ARE HERE TO BRING YOU MANY NICE CONTENT! PLEASE DON'T LET SESAME STREET TO GET THIS ACCOUNT BACK KIDS :( PLEASE...LET ME AND MRSUICIDER91 HAVE IT AND WE GONNA MAKE ALL THE AMERICA HAPPY!

It was suggested that a YouTube user called MrEdxwx perpetrated the hacking for revenge, but that user has since posted a video denying responsibility.

Google plugged a vulnerability in July 2010 that allowed hackers who had it for pop star Justin Bieber to attach off-color pop-ups and adult-site redirects to YouTube videos. A cross-site scripting vulnerability was blamed for enabling the hackers to insert code onto the popular video site's viewer-comments pages.

DAMNIT 4CHAN this pisses me of.

Where does it say that 4chan did this?

Let me quote this;

I don't care if this was for the "lols", this crossed the line. That Sesame Street channel had hundred of thousands/mils of subscribers most of which parents setup for their kid(s). And there is a high chance children not teens just witnessed this. For Shame, the rest of older aged humanity can be fucked up all they want to each other, but leave the kids out of it... I am Disappoint

And why do I think 4chan did this.
Because 4chan.

4Chan had nothing to do with this. Quit fucking stereotyping. There's bad people everywhere on the internet. Plus /b/ hardly does anything anymore, and they most likely would not do this; they wouldn't stoop that low.

This. /b/ is overrun with cancer, they barely do shit anymore outside of the realm of using the whitepages, and facebook to find info on people.

Maybe me accusing 4chan was wrong, but still I stand by my opinion on this being not funny because of little children probably watched it.
