Όμως ακόμα και τώρα μερικά βίντεο συνεχίζουν να εμφανίζονται με αλλαγμένους τίτλους "x - by Prosox & Shade Fuck Illuminati".

Other videos reportedly affected include songs by Chris Brown, Shakira, Selena Gomez, και Taylor Swift, σύμφωνα με μια δημοσίευση του TheVerge. Τα περισσότερα από αυτά τα clips έχουν επεξεργαστεί από τους δημιουργούς τους για να αφαιρέσουν το "πειραγμένο" περιεχόμενο.

Ένας από τους hackers που συμμετείχαν στην επίθεση δήλωσε ότι χρησιμοποίησαν ένα script για να "χαλάσουν"τα βίντεο:

Εν τω μεταξύ, ένα άλλο μέλος της hacking ομάδας απειλεί να παραβιάσει το YouTube της NASA, καθώς και των αμφιλεγόμενων αδελφών Paul - Logan και Jake.
