hacking through youtube

last night on news channel i heard that some hackers are hacking PC's through youtube.they get all info which is stored in your pc like passwords,usernames and other important files.when you click on a video link instead of video hackers occupies your PC.
What you guys say???

 

I say thats BS and the news channel you watch should be shut down.

 

maybe the "hacker" or the video uploader put his/her site (site that has full of viruses/keyloggers etc) on the video description? then the poor viewer clicked that link redirected to that site.

 

That cant be true , You can bind trojens with exe not videos

 

impossible. youtube cant be manipulated to 'hack' users...
