I’m guessing so. This spyware script is apparently something that YouBoob itself attaches to your browser when you look at a video. Could possibly be a problem with Google itself, too (parent company of YouBoob).
“Could possibly be a problem with Google itself.”
Oh absolutely, where there is Youtube there is Google. They are always hand in hand.
And yes I believe the issues carry through no matter where you watch them. We had to stop embedding youtube videos and twitter posts in our site. They were imposing too many dangerous scripts into our pages. We had a choice, let them do it or stop embedding them. So we said no. Now we can’t even follow a link to them and they are attaching crap. It really is time to mass boycott them but no one will do it.
