Looking at the screenshots appearing on the network, the attackers launched a lively broadcast dedicated to the promotion of crypto interests.
Soon, the channel connection has been interrupted, but many Google India pages where Youtube’s video was created until then remained with “broken” content.
Such attacks on YouTube have become a common schema: fraudsters capture popular channels to access a large audience and promote crypto currency schemes.
This is usually accompanied by a change in the design of the channel and the launch of fake shares or coin streams.
So far, Google has officially confirmed the details of the incident, but if the leak is correct, it shows that even these big companies are vulnerable.
Experts remember that cyber security requires continuous update of protection methods and that any error may be the entry point of the attack.
