They hack youtube and delete some of the most popular videos

YouTube is one of the most popular websites in the world, the second most visited after Google. The popular video website has been the victim of a hack. So clearly there has been a serious failure in the security of the page. Also, as a consequence some of the most popular videos are being removed.

They hack YouTube and delete some of the most popular videos

For example, the video of Despacito has been removed from the web, although it seems that it has already returned, which was so far the most viewed in the history of the page. Videos from other artists have also been removed.

Hacking on YouTube

What all the videos have in common is that they belong to official VeVo accounts of these artists. So the problem seems to reside especially in this part. But neither of the two companies (YouTube or VeVo) have so far ruled on the hack. There are other videos that have not been removed, but have seen their descriptions changed.

The web has been working hard to get the descriptions back to the way they were before. Although there are still quite a few videos whose description has nothing to do with the real one. But surely over the next few hours they will be modified.

As we have said before, it seems that many of these videos are already back on YouTube. So it seems the hacking is already being fixed. But at the moment nothing is known about the cause of it. So we hope that from the web they comment something about it.
