Look away, kids!!Sunday we were all reminded of what twisted human beings roam the internet as hackers wiped all of the videos of the Sesame Street YouTube channel, only to upload a variety of hardcore porn.
The pervert allegedly behind the hackings couldn’t help but to take credit, updating the Sesame Street YouTube profile to read:
WHO DOESN'T LOVE PORN KIDS? RIGHT! EVERYONE LOVES IT! IM MREDXWX AND MY PARTNER MRSUICIDER91 ARE HERE TO BRING YOU MANY NICE CONTENT! PLEASE DON'T LET SESAME STREET TO GET THIS ACCOUNT BACK KIDS :( PLEASE...LET ME AND MRSUICIDER91 HAVE IT AND WE GONNA MAKE ALL THE AMERICA HAPPY!
However, it seems that fellow YouTube user “MREDXWX” is now denying any ties to this ghastly deed and has uploaded a YouTube video on his own channel to proclaim his innocence:
Thankfully the triple-X rated content wasn't available for too long. YouTube shut down the Sesame Street YouTube channel within 20 minutes of the adult-themed videos being uploaded.
The Sesame Street YouTube channel has since been sanitized and restored to its original wholesome condition. The hacker’s words have been replaced with a more public-friendly apology:
We apologize for any inconvenience our audience may have experienced yesterday on our Sesame Street YouTube channel. Our channel was temporarily compromised, but we have since restored our original line-up of the best classic Sesame Street video clips featuring Cookie Monster, Big Bird, Grover, Oscar the Grouch, and the rest of the fuzzy, feathered, and googly-eyed friends you remember from childhood.
So, parents, what did we learn from all of this? This should serve as a reminder that you MUST:
- Always use a strong password – it should contain letters, numbers and special characters. Don't use words that are easily guessed.
- Always supervise your child’s computer usage – while the Sesame Street YouTube channel typically provides kid-friendly content, there’s always that chance that some sicko could present your kid with inappropriate content.
Stay safe!
