Something strange is happening on YouTube. As it turns out Google video company has been hit by hackers, as many popular videos have been destroyed, or disappeared suddenly!
At the moment, no one knows the source of the attack, but most of the videos that have been hit are from Vevo's accounts.
A few tweets that appeared reported that the attackers had initially deleted Despacito along with several other videos, but Despacito has since reappeared on the platform.

But even now some videos continue to appear with changed titles “x – Hacked by Prosox & Shade Fuck Illuminati”.
Other videos reportedly affected include songs by Chris Brown, Shakira, Selena Gomez, Katy Perry and Taylor Swift, according to a post by TheVerge. Most of these clips have been edited by their creators to remove "teasing" content.
One of the hackers who took part in the attack stated that they used a script to "spoil" the videos:
@YouTube Its just for fun i just use script "youtube-change-title-video" and i write "hacked" don t judge me i love youtube
