Sansad TV, the public broadcaster for the proceedings of Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, on Tuesday said its YouTube channel was compromised. However, by Tuesday evening, it added that the YouTube channel including live streaming “has since been restored.”
Earlier in the day, the public broadcaster had said, “YouTube channel of Sansad TV got compromised due to unauthorised activities by some scamsters on February 15, 2022 (Tuesday 1 a.m.) including live streaming on this channel”.
It further said, “Also, the channel name was changed to “Ethereum” by the attacker. However, Sansad TV’s Social Media Team promptly worked on it and got the Sansad TV channel restored by early morning at around 0345 hours.”
It added that the Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In), the nodal agency for cyber security incidents in India, has also flagged the breach and alerted Sansad TV.
“YouTube has started fixing the security threats permanently and it shall be restored as soon as possible,” the statement added.
