In recent events on social media, some large YouTubers, most noticeably Markiplier has been hacked by a group of hackers known as the Ourmine Team. This is the video they posted on the channels:
Now on Twitter they are threatening to hack more Youtubers.
From what I can see it’s mostly to gain notoriety on the webs, though they’re giving hackers a bad name. Makes them seem as a bunch of 30 year olds giggling in their parents basement while reading the hate comments of 11 year olds. Any ways, back on topic, these guys won’t last long imo.
I agree. I remember seeing someone take over the Youtube channel of Device, Disturbed’s vocalist’s side project, a while back but I can’t remember anything that was uploaded on the channel. A channel takeover is but a short-term annoyance and a rather unmemorable occurrence (unless the rights to the channel are lost due to a nasty network contract or something, but that’s irrelevant when discussing hacking).
