YouTube Errors Caused by Chinese Hackers?

Today, I was trying to visit YouTube.com and specific videos there. I got an error message Http/1.1 Service Unavailable.

I looked it up to see what that was. One website told me it was spyware and told me to look at my HOSTS file. I did. Nothing in it was malicious code. So that solution wasn’t the answer.

Then I found this at News-About_Knowledge.com

http/1.1 service unavailable” is the error which has been experienced by millions of “you tube” users.

It has been speculated that these are the Chinese hackers who spread this error on the internet. It was reported that Google has announced battle against the government of China. Millions of you tube users have seen a fault in the service followed by a statement http/1.1 service unavailable.

It has been confirmed that the service of you tube remained down for more than 20 minutes. However, Google has not made any announcement regarding this latest error which halted the service of you tube. We have been observing numerous cyber attacks on different web sites. We also reported a cyber attack on Twitter which was made by Iranian cyber army.

Ok, I found this a little far-fetched, but not out of the realm of possibility. Whether this is true or not right now, cyber-warfare is coming.

Do you think Chinese Hackers are the cause of this error message?

Do you think Google would “battle” Chinese Hackers?

Do you think cyber-warfare is here and now or far off in the future?
