YouTube’s most viewed is no longer available in the original music channel. The video, as well as the song, was a hit and almost everywhere this song was being played. The song called 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 other clips continue at the time of writing.
The actual video content itself remains unaltered. Many titles of other songs have been changed to include the names of the hackers. However, some show 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. they posted this:
“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.
