YouTube is fixing a bug that allowed someone to change upload date of new video – Times of India

As per a report by The Verge, the video (which has now been unlisted) was titled “Welcome to YouTube!!!” and it had just one image: a low-res graphic with a YouTube logo with the text “Welcome to YouTube!!!!”. The text message is attributed to Chad, Steve, and Jawed, purportedly referencing co-founders Chad Hurley, Steve Chen, and Jawed Karim. The video has Van Halen’s song “Jump.”
What YouTube has to say
YouTube spokesperson Kimberly Taylor said that the company was aware of the issue and are working on a fix. “We’re aware of an issue that allowed the upload date of this video to be changed, and are working on a fix. Rest assured, the oldest video on YouTube will always be ‘Me at the zoo’ which was uploaded on April 23, 2005 by one of our co-founders and helped kickstart more than 17 years of creativity on YouTube,” Taylor was quoted as saying.
