Sesame Street’s YouTube Account Hacked With Porn Videos

Sesame Street’s YouTube account was hacked earlier today by people who replaced Muppet clips with graphic porn. It apparently took Google more than 20 minutes to react to the hack, which means porn was floating around on the iconic children’s TV show channel.

PBS and Google haven’t said anything, but according to CNN, a message posted on the Sesame Street YouTube account “claimed responsibility in the names of two other YouTube users”. One of those users who supposedly “claimed responsibility”, however, has denied any wrongdoing. His account, MrEdxwx, said:

“I did not hack Sesame Street. I am an honest YouTuber. I work hard to make quality gameplay videos, and most important I respect the community guidelines.”

No one else has claimed responsibility for the hack. [CNN]

    I think Telly’s expression in the screen grab sums up the incident quite well!

    Oh the Pornstar is a person in your neighbourhood, in your neighbourhood.

    One of these fists is not like the others, one of these fists is not the same.

    Rubber d*ckie, (you’re the one).

    My 3yo kids watch the Sesame St YouTube channel all the time. I’m just glad they weren’t online today. Disgusting immature fools that did that hack.
