Microsoft’s official YouTube channel have been hacked and all the uploaded videos of the company have been removed. The hacker replaced the videos with solicitations for sponsorships, apparently expecting an influx of traffic as the news becomes viral.
The background on the channel has been replaced and all of the company’s archived videos, including those for its newly launched advertising campaign, have been removed.
A message on the channel reads, “I DID NOTHING WRONG I SIMPLY SIGNED INTO MY ACCOUNT THAT I MADE IN 2006 :/”
In a latest statement by Microsoft Corporation says “We are aware that someone has altered the YouTube channel devoted to Microsoft videos. We are working with YouTube to rectify the situation.”
