Today is a bad day for us to browse the internet unarmed with knowledge. That is because hackers have found a new place to burn. YouTube. Some of the videos in Youtube contain links to malicious pages, or links that makes you download a malware, that allows hackers to save your keystrokes, copy your files, or even takeover your computer for their another hacking scheme. Even looking at the status bar for the link sometimes doesn’t work, since some hackers do this manually, by making “friends” with the other users and send the links through a friendly conversation. Today, Youtube is as dangerous as MySpace, Facebook, or any Porn Sites you know, since it creates a community of computer-users. Youtube just become one of them, or at least grown out to be, since the start the of the election campaign. Hackers, Spammers, and other internet criminals take advantage to these sites, so be careful out there.
