Smart TV Tech Loophole Allowed Miscreants to View Private YouTube Videos. Security researcher earned a $6,000 bug bounty after uncovering a set of web security flaws that allowed attackers to play supposedly private YouTube videos.
David Schütz (@xdavidhu) reported the privacy weaknesses to YouTube’s parent company Google, which acted promptly to shore up security controls after verifying the problem last July.
This cleared the way for Schütz to offer a detailed technical write-up on the privacy-related issue, which he published on Monday (April 5).
