Google's video service was attacked at the weekend.Google has removed a vulnerability in the company's video service, YouTube, after users reported that they had discovered that malicious script code was added in comments to several of the videos on the site.
Attacks should have happened Sunday, in conjunction with the American Independence day.
There have been reports that the attack script should have led to major damage, except that to some extent, made the comments on YouTube videos offline. Instead comments were replaced including the pop-up texts;
