Web surfers need to be on the lookout for a new Web attack posing as a YouTube page.

Hackers are creating dead-on replicas of the Web site and loading malware on the site to take over computers.

It's important to be able to spot a fake page, experts said. They said that with the fake sites, the URL you click on won't take you directly to YouTube, but instead to an alternate site first.

Experts said that should give you a tip-off that you may not be going to the site you want.
