INTERNET hackers managed to show 20 minutes of porn on the official Sesame Street channel on YouTube.
Internet safety blog Naked Security by Sophos alerted that the channel had been hacked and that the Sesame Street videos had been substituted by hard porn.
YouTube shut down the channel after 20 minutes for “repeated and serious violation of the YouTube community usage rules”.
The profile information was also changed for a message which contained references to pornography. The message claimed that the hacking had been carried out by a user with the screen name MrEdxwx, but he has denied this in a video saying he respects YouTube’s rules.
