On Independence Day Justin Bieber haters strikes again. But who is responsible this time? eBaums or 4Chan?
As I am typing this up YouTube has not found out yet but they have been hacked by either eBaums or 4Chan, the same guys behind the attack on JBShrine and Last.fm.
When I got wind of this news I quickly checked the BABY music video featuring Ludacris on YouTube. When the page loaded a pop-up message came up stating:
BREAKING NEWS: Justin Bieber died in a horrific car accident earlier this morning. Please visit the CNN home page for more info.
The world's largest video sharing website, YouTube, appears to have been hacked this evening - as viewers who frequent the videos of teen singer Justin Bieber find themselves bombarded with hate messages and redirected to the infamous, pornographic and cult-followed video known as 'One Man; One Jar'.
Popular videos, such as Bieber's song 'Baby', have been obscured by pop-up windows that profess hate messages to all who wish to view.
Perhaps even funnier, the video for 'One Time' included a redirection to the webpage containing the video 'One Man; One Jar'.
Some of the errors and hacks appear to have been fixed by the website's administrators - for whom the time is 6:30 in the morning.
Furthermore, when visiting the page for 'Baby', viewers are presented with a pop-up window that reads:
BREAKING NEWS: Justin bieber died in a horrific car accident earlier thismorning, please visit the CNN homepage for more info

Youtube leak. Comments sections are/where vulnerable too code injection. Hence people can run a Javascript on a page load.
One hour of total anarchy on youtube, youtube admins fixed it by shutting off the comments. But it looks like it's still vulnerable.

I wish to notify you that it wasn't hacked for the purpose of defacing Justin Bieber, nor was it hacked.
The /v/ section of 4chan stumbled onto a comment exploit (this is not hacking) and it started off with scrolling marquees on the popular videos, with various comments consisting of profanity and escalated from there to popups, cookie thefts and redirections.
This was NOT done for the purpose of defacing Bieber's accounts (kidrhaul and Vevo). Now, obviously when you have a community that large filled there will be Bieber haters. But this exploit was not discovered and used for the purpose of bad naming Bieber or upsetting his fans.
