Microsoft YouTube channel hacked?

[V 360 SinneR]

Microsoft’s official YouTube channel appears to have been taken over by someone not affiliated with the company, who has removed all of the videos and posted solicitations for sponsorships, apparently anti****ting an influx of traffic as the news spreads. I subscribed to the company’s YouTube updates and received notification this morning of two new uploads by the company, both of them rudimentary videos apparently soliciting adverti*****ts for the channel. Since then a third video has been uploaded, along the same lines. The background on the channel has been replaced and all of the company’s archived videos, including those for its newly launched advertising campaign, have been removed. A message on the channel reads, “I DID NOTHING WRONG I SIMPLY SIGNED INTO MY ACCOUNT THAT I MADE IN 2006 :/”

I just read that the Microsoft channel wasn't taken over but what happened was someone was able to create another channel using the name Microsoft.... Weird!!!
