This is off-topic in some way but I know that there are some registered YouTube users here and they can give an answer:
I was just visiting YouTube and noticed that the main page shows the following information:
'Hello, rettttq1 [MAIL] (0) My Account History QuickList (0) Help Log Out'
pointing to user preferences page of 13-years old Bangladesh person.

I'm not a registered YouTube user. There are no logins to YouTube from this machine at all.
Am I missing something? |
Wow. Sounds like a screw-up. Do you use the Google Web Accelerator by any chance? |
No, I have not Google Web Accelerator in use.
Maybe someone has information about working security contact of YouTube? |
Stupid question, but you are alone on your computer right? |
Absolutely and I don't know anyone from Bangladesh ;-) As mentioned earlier there are no logins (i.e. authentication cookies etc.) to YouTube from this computer. |

YouTube has been contacted with full details. |
This is strange..
" there are no logins i.e. authentication cookies etc.) to YouTube from this computer."
are there any other logins that you may have /my have used with userid "rettttq1" ??
|
No. I just watched some Most Viewed videos. The only feature I have been using today was scroll bar, i.e. reading comments, not even clicking them. |
Oh ok.. maybe there is a back-end roll over on YTube USERID into the Google account ID's. The User Farm maybe in transit for cross pollination and you got caught in the middle.
Indicator, that Google accounts now will be used for Ytube ?? |
An interesting point.
I will inform when the reply from YouTube/Google arrives. |
I just got the same error, with NO cookies on the machine from any site. When I tried to view the profile, I was logged back out.

Interesting.
I.e. in your case direct link to the profile is http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=sabudia
When checking here only "Log In" link was available and the basic information (age, country etc). was viewed. In 'rettttq1' case there is "Log out" link available and Compose menu enables to send a message as a wrong user! |
