Using YouTube is not safe

Mashable news: "Hackers just took down YouTube’s most popular video "…

"Early Tuesday morning, hackers defaced a number of music videos that were posted to YouTube by Vevo accounts. Among the affected videos was the world-famous music video by Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee, which was taken down. "

On the internet, nothing is safe. Not even “Despacito.”

I think YouTube is safe for me as long as I have no account there.

what if those hackers track you or even lurk inside your computer once you clicked on the affected music clips?

Black hats will track what? I’m poor @green5

I don’t worry about it i listen to some good meditation musics to fall asleep

Youtube is no less safe than fb… google… random forums… here… the only way you would be 100% safe is to never be online…ever…

They hacked the account. They got the password and logged in. That’s very different from using YouTube to give you a virus that tracks you.

Are they taking requests? Can we delete Logan Paul?

It should be mentioned that YouTube itself wasn’t hacked but rather the attackers were able to get into VEVO’s content owner (CMS) in which every channel connected to a CMS. Their video information can be changed remotely without having to access to channels directly. Probably a VEVO employee with CMS access tied to their Google account fell victim to a phishing attack or they got a hold of a stash of credentials etc.

I would never join Facebook.
It’s not safe there.
No privacy whatsoever.

At what age are people into YouTube?

I’m mid 30’s and it doesn’t interest me.

YouTube has gotten so greedy lately, they kind of deserve to be taken down a notch :laughing:

I am that person. Hahahaha I should teach people here how to use the internet. How to learn knowledge and understand the world.

You are right. If you invade YouTube, they may not only delete a few videos.Technically. YouTube is safe. It’s almost impossible to invade.

You have not found interest in youtube?.. you should look again… and outside of the recommended and popular…

That literally happens all the time. YouTube can recover the videos with all the data. Nothing is ever lost.
