AOMG working to get YouTube channel back after hacker takes control of the site
In a notice posted to fans on social media, South Korean hip-hop label AOMG says on May 10th there was a hacker attack on the AOMGOFFICIAL YouTube channel. According to the label, it managed to restore the channel as it was before the attack, but YouTube shut the site down because the contents uploaded by the hacker violated YouTube's harmful or dangerous content policy.
AOMG says it's doing its best to bring the original AOMGOFFICIAL channel and its contents back. Meanwhile, fans say they noticed the site was hacked when they received an Elon Musk Bitcoin livestream notification from the channel, which had been changed to Tesla US.
