Youtube spammed with malicious comment scripts
Hax!
Apparently someone at Google didn't realise that people can use <script> tags to insert scripts in YT comments. Naturally, 4chan and ebaumsworld have discovered this vulnerability, and have spammed all popular videos with lord knows what scripts.
Some videos are redirecting to malicious sites, others have explicit content, or offensive marquee text.
Just thought I'd warn you all. Afterall, scripts are very dangerous. If you have visited YT lately, please ensure your PC hasn't been infected.
If you have an infected video, please disable comments.
Update: Youtube have removed the offending comments.
