Shameless Sesame Street Hack of the Day: The Sesame Street YouTube channel was apparently hacked earlier this evening, and all its content was either removed or made private.
Making matters worse still, a 7 minute Bang Bros porn video was uploaded to the channel (sfw link), and the banner was replaced with one that read “Sesame Street — I’ts [sic] where porn lives.”
In the decription field, credit for the hack was claimed by a YouTube user named MrEdxwx, working in collaboration with another YouTuber user who goes by MrSuicider91.
On his YouTube channel, MrEdxwx posted a video with the following statement: “I did not hack Sesame Street. I am an honest YouTuber. I work hard to make quality gameplay videos, and most important I respect the community guidelines.”
The pornographic material was up on the Sesame Street channel for at least 20 minutes before being removed by YouTube. The channel itself was shut down and remains unavailable at this time. Most of the videos, however, appear to be back online.
