Security → Popular YouTube channel WatchMojo hacked

It's a day ending in ‘Y’ so chances are good somebody has gotten hacked. Tonight the victim appears to be the popular YouTube list channel, WatchMojo. WatchMojo is based in Quebec, and the site publishes top 10 lists daily including lists regarding movies, TV, videogames, comedy, and more. The YouTube channel currently has over 12 million subscribers.

Tonight, the vast majority of videos on the WatchMojo YouTube channel have slightly different titles than usual. In fact, nearly every video has the title “HACKED BY OBNOXIOUS AND PEIN twitter.com/poodlecorp.” Going to the aforementioned Twitter account presents you with an account created this month, with exactly two tweets as of this publishing: one pinned tweet simply saying “Soon #PoodleCorp #Summer2016” and the other includes a video of a small child talking about the WatchMojo hack.

That would be 'S' or 'O' in Spanish.
You've got to be politically correct these days .

I don't know how Youtube "channels" work, but does that mean that Youtube was hacked, or ...?

»www.youtube.com/user/Wat ··· o/videos

I guess it does?
So that means while it was "watchmojo" that might have been hacked, presumably the same hackers could do the same to any Youtube account/page?

Maybe it wasn't a hack, but rather they "got" the watchmojo login/password into Youtube & went in & changed the names, added content?

Right... Well I'm sure WatchMojo has servers where they perform much of their video work. Perhaps that was what was hacked.
