If you look at the YouTube video you can see the open browser tabs and open programs on the uploader's computer.

Screen shot of his browser:
And of his open programs:

Some discussion of tabs at the GD link

Why would someone be recording DU at the exact time of the hack if they weren't the hacker?

Two browser tabs show interest in guns, one is about Assange..one appears to be from stackoverflow.com.

I wouldn't spend time at stackoverflow.com unless, I was into programming.

Two of his open programs are MS Paint and Notepad. It may or may not mean anything, but I know Notepad is used for writing code.

The video that was embedded into DU was created in 2015 and was entitled "Episode 15 Hold Back The Night" by a Murdoch Murdoch. It has been floating around YouTube for awhile.

The hack occurred on November 8, 2016. This YouTube video showing the DU hack was recorded and uploaded on Nov. 8, 2016.
