Yeah.. Not on any of mine, they're all fine. Maybe a joint April Fool's, despite it being the second?

[RayDaHero]

It's a collective April fools guys... It's still April 1 in most of the world...

 

[TheKDub]

Not a hint of it in my sub feed.

 

Edit 1: If you search for ourmine however... https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=ourmine

 

Edit 2: Oh jeez, I checked h3h3Productions' channel, all their videos got renamed to the same ourmine thing.

 

Edit 3: Make sure you've got two factor authentication on for all your accounts where possible!

And this is why it sucks to be in NZ  everyone is pumping out their pranks just as we tick over to the second...

OurMine is a grey hat hacking collective that breaks into celebrity accounts in order to demonstrate the necessity of strong passwords and 2FA. They aren't white hats because they do it without permission but they aren't black hats because they don't do it for the keks or personal gain.

So they're seen as annoying but are pretty much harmless

Pretty much. Basically they're telling you that if they can break into your account, you need to rethink your personal Internet security practices.

Well up to the point that you have to go through and rename all of your videos and change the descriptions back to what they were

i feel sorry for those youtubers that have thousands of videos and have to rename them now, plus the descriptions

[ZUB XD]

April fools, they got into too many yt channels to be true

[Vergo]

Yeah the Same thing is happening to me but it's only happening in one tab

[Vergo]

I did some research and OurMine are supossed to be hackers. Makes me wonder if they're starting to screw up youtube, if they are they sure picked a great time to start

[Vergo]

oh I see they are trying to promote something on wiki it said they pretend to be celebrity's

Don't be so sure, this could have been planned quite a bit in advance, gathering usernames and passwords for the yt accounts, waiting for today to deploy bots to handle the dirty work. (Or a ton of people in on it)

[Vergo]

Since it's april fools this could just be youtube faking it all

yeah you could be right

I read an article that some time back they screwed with twitter

they were originly with anonymous but when they quite is when they started to hack everybody but that was back in 2015

[ScienceSlime]

[THIS IS LEGIT, NOT A PRANK]

 

Hey folks!

 

Basically, they hack celebrities' YT accounts, and change their video titles for advertising.

 

It sure is real.

 

If you really want to see what their website looked like in January:

This website is not a joke, wait for it to load. I swear. Someone's going to arrest them.

 

I hope that I could be of some assistance, and have a wonderful day. -ScienceSlime
