Stars including; Selena Gomez, Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift, Luis Fonsi, Shakira, and Katy Perry have all been targeted, including the Spanish hit that has had 5 billion views.
Other videos were "defaced" with their titles and thumbnails compromised, however, were put back to normal a day later.Hackers Prosox and Kuroi'sh have taken credit for the cyber attack on Twitter, however, it is unconfirmed whether they are the true culprits.
"It's just for fun I just use script 'youtube-change-title-video' and I write 'hacked,'" one of the reported hackers tweeted.
Fans were "greeted by a video image still that showed masked figures aiming guns at the camera". So scary.
Luckily, it seems everything has gone back to normal.
