YouTube comment exploit leads to copypasta vandalism
The "hack" -- if it can even be called that -- is fairly simple and is being copy and pasted like mad. Be prepared to be offended, because it's safe to say that the fun-loving kids of /b/ are going to... er... take liberties with popular items like Justin Bieber videos.
Maybe they'll use the exploit for good -- like encouraging people to help out with the pollbombing to send Biebs to North Korea on his world tour.

It's far wors ethan little marquees. Using javascript and PHP they're redirecting to porn sites and stealing email addresses. Apparently, there's even an exploit available to remove system32. Scary stuff.
(Although, as I write this, it looks like YouTube have managed to close the loophole)

I think you've been had mate, There is no way a little JS injection can delete important parts of you OS's file system. However there is piece of JS floating around which does an infinite loop, crashing the web browser, or it can be used to redirect to another address, hence porn redirection.

There was an exploit that attempted to steal your YouTube session cookies using a malformed jpeg image, but that never really took off.
And yes, they were redirecting to porn sites, crashing your browser, and causing an infinate loop of "JUSTIN BIEBER IS GAY" alerts on any justin bieber related videos.

I think the real question here is why you were looking at a video about a guy and a gorilla singing.
