In a world where the likes of the Heartbleed bug threatens digital security, one can’t be sure if the things they send out remain as private as they want it to be. YouTube has clarified that reports of 90-second unskippable ads appearing on TV were not intentional, saying the issue was caused by a bug. Despite the clarification, YouTube has not provided a detailed explanation of how the bug occurred or why it appeared to affect multiple users at the same time.
