Sansad TV, which broadcasts live Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha proceedings, on Tuesday said its YouTube channel was compromised due to unauthorised activities by “some scamsters”. In an official statement, the broadcaster said the channel’s name was changed to “Ethereum” (a crypto currency) by the attacker.
Later, YouTube started “fixing the security threats permanently” and the channel on the platform “shall be restored ASAP” (as soon as possible)
“YouTube channel of Sansad TV got compromised due to unauthorised activities by some scamsters on February 15 (Tuesday one am), including live streaming on this channel,” the statement said. Sansad TV’s social media team promptly worked on it and got the channel restored by early morning at around 3.45 a.m., it said.
