Biggest YouTube Hack in History : #OurMine Strikes again, compromises hundreds of YouTube channels

By -

Notable online Hacking group, #OurMine that also describes themselves as "cybersecurity group" strikes again by compromising hundreds of popular YouTube channels on Thursday, 13th April, 2017 . The group says it's not a malicious hack.
Attacked accounts will be restored, they want to prove YouTube is not that secured (by showing its flaws) and people use easy to guess passwords such as 12345678...

 The group changes the attacked channels' video to display #OurMine, and the video description as;“Hey, it’s OurMine, don’t worry we are just testing your security, please contact us for more information.”

 #OurMine is notable for pulling publicity stunt such as spreading fake news of Britney Spears in December 2016. They also claimed responsibility for hacking Mark Zuckerberg's Pinterest among other influential personalities as well as big brands.
Since the moments of the hack, the group's site has been overwhelmed. The groups'  Youtube channel has been suspended.
