So as some of you may know, on Christmas Day 2009, YouTube was hacked, supposedly by a person named MeiAIDS. The hack consisted of changing thumbnails of videos from popular YouTubers and YTP's. But during this time there was allegedly a video of MeiAIDS performing the hack, though has been lost since then. YouTuber EmpLemon briefly mentioned this in his YouTube Geographic video which will be listed below. The only other documentation I could find on this was on KnowYouMeme (Yes I know its not the most reliable site, but when it comes to finding out information on this event its rather scarce.) But on the bright side the supposed video link is posted, although it doesn't specifically state if its MeiAIDS hacking, and the video has been deleted as most have suspected. If there's anymore documentation on this video post it below. If anyone makes an article its best to put it on Existence Unconfirmed for now.

I had watched emplemon's youtube geographic, and i did comment it there, but my brother had came across the video in 2009 and was on youtube when the hack occured. He remembers being confused about the whole situation so he started googling and came across the video of a guy performing the hack, possibly MeiAIDS. Unfortuaneley, my brother has passed away and that was the only info he told me about the situation. We talked about it a month before he sadly passed away.

I couldn't find anything in the way back machine. I have a possible remedy for this.

Try to find some poopers of the time and see if they have any archives of this stuff. Using the Wayback machine to go to the Youchew forums and look for users.
