Microsoft's YouTube channel hacked

Microsoft's YouTube channel appears to have been hacked and defaced.
Microsoft's YouTube channel appears to have been hacked by someone who has removed all the software giant's videos and is soliciting subscribers for sponsorships.

The background on the channel has been changed to one that includes the title "Predator Cinema," and a message has been posted that says: "I DID NOTHING WRONG I SIMPLY SIGNED INTO MY ACCOUNT THAT I MADE IN 2006 :/"


The channel's archived videos have been removed and replaced with short clips titled "We are sponsoring!" and "Make us a background to get a Subbox!!!"
Microsoft and YouTube representatives did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
This is the second high-profile YouTube channel to be hacked in the past week. Sesame Street's YouTube channel was hacked last weekend, leaving its normally family-friendly content replaced with pornographic content.
