Security breach found in youtube, allowing hackers to take over channels - miso - 05-16-2020
SubToOptimus released a video a couple hours quickly saying that there is accounts that have found a security breach in YouTube's comment section
When a user tries to interact with the message, it apparently allows the hacker to access most (if not all) of the person's account (private videos etc...)
these comments are made by bots and go through around youtube to steal channels, at the time of that video was recorded, there was around 50000 channels hacked.

This Is quite significant, but I'm just questioning the authenticity of the breach.
I've performed a quick Google search and unless I've overlooked It completely, there Isn't anything to confirm this.

I'll hit a few online searches throughout the day, and see whether there's any reports available.

SomeOrdinaryGamer made a video about the situation, he thinks there is a problem with OAUTH keys beinh vulnerable, but the situation is still very vague, everyone is still waiting for youtube's responce

It's a concern from a security standpoint, but I've yet to locate any reports concluding the matter.

reminds me of when XSS was still possible on youtube and they hacked the Justin Bieber videos.

I've heard of this as well, once they take control of the channel they'll delete all the videos and start bitcoin livestream scams
