Shameless Sesame Street Hack of the Day: The Sesame Street YouTube channel was apparently hacked earlier this evening, and all its content was either removed or made private. 
 
 Making matters worse still, a 7 minute Bang Bros porn video was uploaded to the channel (sfw link), and the banner was replaced with one that read “Sesame Street — I’ts [sic] where porn lives.” 
 
 In the decription field, credit for the hack was claimed by a YouTube user named MrEdxwx, working in collaboration with another YouTuber user who goes by MrSuicider91. 
 
 On his YouTube channel, MrEdxwx posted a video with the following statement: “I did not hack Sesame Street. I am an honest YouTuber. I work hard to make quality gameplay videos, and most important I respect the community guidelines.” 
 
 The pornographic material was up on the Sesame Street channel for at least 20 minutes before being removed by YouTube. The channel itself was shut down and remains unavailable at this time. Most of the videos, however, appear to be back online.

The Sesame Street YouTube channel is currently down after it fell victim on Sunday to a nefarious hacking entity that removed all of its content, then reprogrammed the page with hardcore porn. 
 
 Beneath the familiar Sesame Street logo, the page's banner read, "I'TS [sic] WHERE PORN LIVES." The page featured a 7-minute clip of an adult film, which, according to one knowledgeable Reddit user, is First Anal Quest: Angelica. It stayed up for 20 minutes. 
 
 The channel's profile description, meanwhile, claimed responsibility for the hack on behalf of two YouTube users: 
 
 "WHO DOESN'T LOVE PORN KIDS? RIGHT! EVERYONE LOVES IT! IM MREDXWX AND MY PARTNER MRSUICIDER91 ARE HERE TO BRING YOU MANY NICE CONTENT! PLEASE DON'T LET SESAME STREET TO GET THIS ACCOUNT BACK KIDS :( PLEASE...LET ME AND MRSUICIDER91 HAVE IT AND WE GONNA MAKE ALL THE AMERICA HAPPY!" 
 
 While MrSuicider91 remains silent, the other alleged hacker, MrEdxwx, posted a denial message on his gaming channel. 
 
 "I did not hack Sesame Street. I am an honest YouTuber. I work hard to make quality gameplay videos, and most important I respect the community guidelines." 
 
 So far, neither PBS, YouTube, or YouTube's parent company Google have commented on the attack. Click the image below to see a screengrab of the hacked channel as it looked before it came down.

– Sesame Street briefly turned into Sex-ame Street yesterday, when hackers apparently took hold of the children’s show’s YouTube channel and filled it with porn. The page was taken offline in the afternoon, CNN reports, but it appears to be back up today. The nonprofit Sesame Workshop apologized yesterday, noting that, "We always strive to provide age-appropriate content for our viewers and hope to resolve this problem quickly." The XXX material was available for at least 20 minutes, The Daily What notes. Gawker and Reddit have NSFW screenshots.
