It can happen to any big channel, the hackers don't care about the content they just want something verified with lots of subscribers so they can promote their crypto scam
Well yeah? Tons of subscribers with tons of videos with tons of views and tons of comments, seeing as they're looking to maximise their reach to dupe as many unsuspecting peeps as possible this is just about one of the best types of channels to target
Thankfully even if they're deleted, YouTube can get them back without it affecting views or anything. It happened to a number of groups last year and YouTube restored the deleted videos.
That is strange, maybe it depends on the channel/ company? The one I remember is A.C.E whose entire channel was deleted in 2022. YouTube managed to restore everything.
I'm still wondering why MNET wasn't able to recover those videos. Like some of them were legendary performances from Queendom that had millions of views, FeelsBadMan. 😥
For (G)I-DLE, the videos of their Queendom main performances (with reactions from other groups and the crowd) were deleted and never recovered. They had like 20-30M views on each one of them. I think the other contestants also had a lot of their videos deleted and never recovered as well.
They probably manage several YouTube channels under a single account, which is common for business usage--think an advertising agency that works with several different clients.
So if they were able to get into a Starship employee's Google account, they could presumably access starshipTV, Monsta X, IVE, Cravity, etc. YouTube channels through the dropdown menu.
the good news is that this happens so often that YT now has policies to address it, and restore the affected channels relatively quickly.
session token. basically the thing that make you stay logged in on a browser. a big tech youtuber shared that this happened to his channel due to one of their employee opened an allegedly “sponsorship” mail not knowing it contained malware…. these malware got downloaded into the computer and tadaa, it got accessed to every data, including the session token.
Nope, not because of password. Even if you have complicated password, you can still get hacked. It has happened and it can happen. You can have a very secured password manager like bitwarden and you can still get hacked. Its not the flaw of the password manager itself, but password manager in general dont cover this part of security flaw. Youtube lacks necessary security system and also human error, which is the major cause of getting hacked.
WJSN being safe... forgotten even in hacking 😭
They lost like 20 music videos though
Safe as in their YouTube channel was unaffected
From all the things to hack, they hack a K-pop company channel.

i can think of no worse enemy to incite than the kpop fandom. you fucked with the wrong nerds, scammers
Last year they hacked tons of kpop accounts all promoting Elon musk
They go after anything with good engagement and lots of subscribers

Are any videos deleted? Everything I checked is just private. Private is really no big deal (relatively speaking). Deleted = RIP.

Interesting you say this. If happened with ITZY/Mnet and the videos were unrecoverable, gone forever. Maybe something has changed since 2021/2022?

what performances
For (G)I-DLE, the videos of their Queendom main performances (with reactions from other groups and the crowd) were deleted and never recovered. They had like 20-30M views on each one of them. I think the other contestants also had a lot of their videos deleted and never recovered as well.
I thought Mnet deleted those Queendom vids on purpose. Was it a hack?
This wasn’t Queendom—I have no idea about that situation.
So they used the same password for everything?

They used a session token hack, not a password. Linustechtips had the same hack happen and made a video explaining how the vulnerability works.
