Youtube channels for some of the world’s biggest stars were affected. Vevo channels for artists like Lil NAS X, Eminem, Drake, Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, the weeknd, Michael Jackson, Kanye West, and others were affected.

Youtube did not respond to requests for comment from the verge. Vevo bills itself as’the world’s leading music video network’.

Major artists are currently being hacked by @ lospelaosbro. So far it looks like juice Wrld, Eminem, Ariana Grande, Harry styles, Justin Bieber, the weekndnd.

‘no pre-existing content was accessible to the source,’ VEVO said.’as a best practice VEVO will be conducting a review of our security systems’.

The then-most-viewed YouTube video of all time,’despacito’, was vandalized and briefly removed.

Youtube required millions of popular channels to enable two-step verification. Google says it gave away hardware keys to over 10,000 high-risk users.

An apparent compromise somewhere along VEVO’s pipeline allowed the attacker to continue upload across high-profile channels for several hours.
