Videos relating to the star have been hit with a redirect hack with a number of different payloads. We’ve seen one redirect to an infamous, explicit “One Man One Jar” video while another covers the screen in the words “OMG Faggot”. A Twitter search confirms that the problem is widespread. Some users are reporting seeing a banner claiming that Bieber is dead. So, what’s causing this? Coder Richard Cunningham writes on his Posterous blog that it relates to video comments. [quote]“It looks like they are deliberately using malformed HTML to get past YouTube’s checks for HTML sanitisation in the comments. The comment I’ve seen is using the long forgotten marquee tag and a javascript alert, though in principle it could be expanded to support XSS type flaws.”[/quote] Comments on many videos, some not related to Bieber, have code like this on them: [img]http://thenextweb.com/socialmedia/files/2010/07/Screen-shot-2010-07-04-at-14.58.45.png[/img] YouTube appears to be deleting or blocking comments on many video pages. The attack comes on the same day as an apparent iTunes App Store hack came to light. We’ll update with more information as we get it. UPDATE: Discussions on the notorious 4chan bulletin board site point to members of its community being to blame. We won’t link to the site (the link would be unlikely to last long if we did) so here’s a screenshot of one such message.

Kudos, /b/. You've outdone yourselves yet again.

I'm okay with this.

I wouldn't call them /b/tards for this.

Cool. Justin Beaver sucks anyways.

I chuckled. 12-year-old girls being redirected to onemanonejar sounds hilarious. "JUSTIN JUSTIN JUSTIN JUS- what is this? What is that guy d- OH GOD WHY"

I love how all of these news sites call it ~HACKING~. There was no hacking involved.

Holy shit I actually read that message on /b/. Now that's deja vu, forget that guy's dream thread. [editline]03:18AM[/editline] And above poster is true, it was an exploit.

One man one jar to kids.... I don't care how crappy Bieber is, that's not right.

Oh media sites... You think you know how to use this new-fangled Internet doo-hickey.

I saw goatse when I was seven or eight. Let them suffer. Plus, it was the nimp version of it. You have no idea how badly I wet my pants when the speakers started blaring "HEY I'M LOOKING AT GAY PORNO"

I'm fine with this. They should've mentioned NK or something though.

Screencapped this myself during the early onset of the exploit [IMG]http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/gg204/jadenrosh/babykorea.png[/IMG]

So is this actually technically hacking~? just seems like exploiting comments, like zalgo or something.

Anon delivers a beatdown.

Good job. Just try to stay undercover last time :colbert:

I'm ok with this.

4chan is almost as powerful as most gangs, if you think about it. The internet is a huge, huge part of society, and 4chan can bend the fabrics of it. :popcorn:
