YouTube security breach - exposes userids and passwords

June 22, 2007 · Posted in Tech tidbit

Breaking News -
YouTube has a feature where it displays all the sites that link to a video. A lot of users have downloaded videos from YouTube servers using FTP. These inward links to YouTube seem to expose the userid and password of the user in plaintext as part of the url.

A Google query will show all the breached accounts which are vulnerable. If you think your userid is compromised, change it immediately.
