Is "it" hackable?
COD3 wrote: of course you moron..why ask a stupid question. There are plenty of ways to take over an account on youtube. The security is low and all they really care about is security based on who's watching their material.
If you know some ways to do it then post them.
This subject is really interesting because a major website like youtube MUST increase its security measures.

Ok dumbass, that would be contributing to a malicious user. Why post how to take over your little sisters youtube account so you can look big? Cmon kid, be real and tell the truth. Next time you post, you should realize that people here on this site are not stupid and you can't just come on here and ask, "How can i hack something?" What are you stupid?

Contributing to a malicious user???Dude what are you talking about???????????????????????You should apologize.
I ask a user with God rank about the same subject and he also thought the same thing as you, however, I clarified in the beginning of this thread that I ONLY I repeat ONLY and I repeat again ONLY ask for educational reasons.
Do you really think that a malicious hacker would say "hey, guys do you know how-to"??????
Come on relax.
ya it took me 8 months to get good at it. Rule #1. don't tell anyone that you know that your learning. it made it even harder.

Yes it can be hacked,But if think someone is going to post specific ways to do it, Your are wrong. Learn, explorer and do it on your own. Not the kind of question that should be asked in the forums.

Talk about illegal use of question marks. ;)
If all you're really concerned about is preventing your account from being "hacked" then you should have asked that question to begin with. I would suggest that you change your password to something more difficult, be wary of using public computers, and watch out for social engineering attempts against you by other people.

- #'s
- capitals
- lowercase
- at LEAST 3 symbols.
- no full words
and now you invincible. cuz if you told any1 that in a social engineer event they would get lost or you would realize you told them.
I don't know about invincible…but pretty darn close. ;) There may still be other methods.
The why do I still get hacked on youtube? I mean I follow all general password "rules".
I always thought that hacking youtube had to do with obtaining password hashes. I used to change my passwords frequently but I still got hacked. That made me think that it may be something related to password hashes. Then I saw a vid of someone hacking a youtube account by e-mailing, but he claimed that this method worked only if the user didnt use youtube for 2 days. So that couldnt have happened to me, since I use youtube every day.

It is just unfair. I cant stand that. They remove my vids all the time. They think it is a game. Unfortunately, I am totally "blind" as far as it concerns youtube accounts.
Do you keep using the one that they 'hacked'? If the answer is 'yes', then read on. If not, then the rest of this is useless.
Because they might have changed the password recovery info so they get an email. Also, check you're security question, they could have changed that too. (Does youtube even have a password recovery thing?)
omg what is with all these n00bs wanting us to spoon feed them answers in life ALL the freaking time its really getting aggravating. My definition of "hacking" is Taking a subject Learning about it…taking your knowledge you have obtained and applying it. AND depending on what kind of person you are defines what you will do with this Knowledge. So hacking inst always Coding..remember there is NO patch for human stupidity Myspace is the PERFECT example. Some people i just asked for the password and i had it. So its Not always who knows the most code..But who knows the target best.
There is no cure for the human stupidity. Don't get me wrong, I'm just saying the only reason computers and programs are vulnerable are because of human-made mistakes in the first place.
The best practice is to watch the links you click, get No-script for firefox and make sure to always be on your feet. Programmers may be smart in a great deal of trades, yes, but hackers only have to be fluent in one way to take them down honestly, that's the fun of it. Love hate relationship typa thing.
A vast majority of the time when you lose a password you clicked on a bad link or an xss'ed link or something else in that genre. It's not necessarily YouTubes fault, rather people that click on any bloody link they get.
Just watch your back
I would assume that a site like UTube would have somewhat sketchy account security. Because you agreed to their terms of service, you don't have any influence on their company. And one account isn't going to affect their company.
Extra password precautions: Just fill in giberish in the password recovery questions. Take advantage of login signatures if your account matters to you. Don't use popular email providers to regester for accounts that matter. Don't link accounts to you or other (importaint) accounts. And if you only talk to a handfull of people like me, you can have an account for each person.
And since I'm paranoid and don't store passwords on my computer, I usually write down the password in a book I'm reading at the time.
