Despacito: Most Watched Youtube Video Ever 'deleted' In Apparent Hack by Nobody: 11:33am On Apr 10, 2018 |
YouTube's music video for the hit song Despacito, which has had over five billion views, has been hacked. More than a dozen other artists, including Shakira, Selena Gomez, Drake and Taylor Swift are also affected. The original clips had been posted by Vevo. The Despacito video has been removed, but its cover image had shown a group wearing masks and pointing guns. The hackers, calling themselves Prosox and Kuroi'sh, had written "Free Palestine" underneath the videos. Several of the clips remain live at time of writing. Of those, the actual video content itself appears to be unaltered. Many titles have been changed to include the names of the hackers, but only some feature the replaced cover image. Both YouTube and the music video hosting service Vevo have been contacted for comment. A Twitter account that apparently belongs to one of the hackers posted : "It's just for fun, I just use [the] script 'youtube-change-title-video' and I write 'hacked'." "Don't judge me I love YouTube," it added. Source:https://www.google.com.ng/amp/s/www.bbc.com/news/amp/technology-43712137 4 Likes 3 Shares |

chibike69: Yea, apparently YouTube addressed the issue. The funny thing is a lot of people will go and view this video after the hack just to confirm if it's been truly deleted. Expect it to hit 6b views in a couple of days. 127 Likes 6 Shares |

greenhulk:Not Possible sir,do you know the years and various circumstances that led to those youtube views? None of the videos hacked will ever get the number of previos views ever again,at least not in a decade time. Just like saying P-square with the highest view for Personally in Nigeria,can garner more than 80millions views if the previos views were deleted,never |
