They delete from YouTube the video clip Despacito, the one that had the highest number of reproductions on the platform

Attackers have deleted the most watched video in YouTube history, which is the Despacito video clip, and altered videos and descriptions of various Vevo channels on the video platform.

Well, this story is pretty impressive. YouTube has been hacked and those who have carried out this attack are Prosox and Kuroi'sh. The attack has been carried out against large accounts of musical artists, such as Chris Brown, Shakira, DJ Snake, Kate Perry, Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift. But it is also that the attack has eliminated the video that had the most views in the history of this platform, which is none other than the video of Despacito, the subject of Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee.

Shortly before being deleted, the thumbnail image of the video would have been modified and an image with masks and weapons was shown, the same ones used in the Spanish series 'La casa de papel', although it could be a coincidence, since this Image can be found on Google, easily. Before being deleted, according to The Verge, the description of the video would also have been altered, publishing the name of the attackers.

The details about this attack are minimal, but everything indicates that in some way, the attackers would have taken control of Vevo's music channels, which are many and therefore all the victims are Vevo channels. There are many Vevo videos that have suffered alterations to a greater or lesser extent, either in the descriptions themselves or in the thumbnails, which would have been altered.

Right now there is only data from the deletion of a video, the Despacito video clip. The rest of the alterations in the videos have already been corrected. In addition, the YouTube attacker has posted on Twitter the responsibility of the same attack and that he has done it for fun. In addition, it seems that they intend to continue causing problems, since quite controversial YouTubers channels such as Jake Paul and Logan have been targeted. YouTube, at the moment, has not said anything about it.
