This just happened! Most watch YouTube video ever 'Despacito' gets hacked and restored within few hours

Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee fans were in for a shock when their hit number 'Despacito' disappeared. Youtube's most watched video ever which has over five billion views had got hacked and then got restored within few hours on Tuesday. 

But it is not the only video which got targetted by hackers. Shakira, Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift and dozen other artists' clips posted by Vevo have also been affected by them in the past. 

For a few hours, 'Despactio' video was removed and replaced by a cover image with group wearing masks and pointing guns.  With 'Free Palestine' written underneath, the hackers have named themselves Prosox and Kuroi'sh. 

Seems Kuroi'SH also managed to hack @shakira's @Vevo YouTube account.

As per The Sun report, YouTube is looking into the matter and released an official statement saying. "We are working to reinstate all videos affected and our catalogue to be restored to full working order. We are continuing to investigate the source of the breach."

 The most streamed song of all times, 'Despacito' earlier created the record of reaching fastest 2 billion views on Youtube in just 154 hours of its release.  Luis Fonsi fans are glad that the video has got restored and are saying it returned back to get 6 billion views. 'Despacito' means slowly in Spanish but the song's popularity is clearly showing no signs of slowing down.
