Internet users react after DC’s YouTube channel apparently got hacked

The reports of DC’s account on a popular video platform got hacked and garnered many reactions on X. Someone talked about the weaker password, while others tried to give a humorous spin to the situation.

“Password was probably “Krypto” let’s be honest,” a user joked.

“Do people not know what 2FA is or what,” another user asked.

“DC really got outsmarted by a kid who just learned long division,” someone noted.

“Password was "watchsupermanplease1,"” another one claimed.

A user posted,

“Looks like DC's been hacked by the ultimate villain.”

Another user referenced the infamous Rockstar Games-GTA 6 hacker,

“If I had a penny for every time a major entertainment company is hacked by a minor I would have 2 pennies which isn’t a lot but it's weird that it happened twice. // (He was 17 at the time)”

Someone remarked on the DCU-MCU rivalry,

“Must be a marvel fan or something bro thinks he can just hack dc without consequences have fun in jail with winter soldier and wilson fisk type characters bruh 😭😭”

Another one observed,

“Imagine breaking into DC’s YouTube just to flex your middle school hacking skills. Kid might have a future in cybersecurity—or a very awkward chat with the FBI.”

“He'll be working for the NSA or CIA next week. Can't let skills go to waste,” a user commended the alleged hacker’s skills.

The channel managed by DC Studios still displays the new address, “@jinwooljw10710.” The channel icon has been restored to the original, while the Korean description has also disappeared. The account still has over 4.75 million subscribers, and all videos are seemingly available.
