    People have found a comment exploit in youtube which hijacks the javascript..

    I suggest stay awayfrom youtube or use Noscript while visiting youtube

    see example http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ds9ddViCo2o which directs you to some bad site !

    I think there are many hijackers that try to hack the site every day but sometime some of them succeed. but i think youtube is not a small thing.
    They have all the power and knowledge to fight back.
    No worries friends, happy watching.

    It might be possible but GIANTS like YouTube can recover in few minutes for sure.

    I just checked and everything seems normal already...

    Their site's design and structure were new so maybe that was the reason. :D
