In a shocker, Youtube sensation, the official “Despacito” music video was hacked earlier today. Puerto Rican singer and songwriter, Luis Fonsi, the main artist in the highly popular video song, was the victim of the cyber attack. Fonsi's YouTube Account was compromised by hackers, who referred to themselves as Prosox & Kuroi'SH & Shade & Akashi IT & KiraRoot & Xepher & SenpaiWeb & Misao. After taking control of the account, the hackers deleted the video.

Prior to deleting the video, the hackers changed the song to "Hacked By Prosox & Kuroi'SH & Shade & Akashi IT & KiraRoot & Xepher & SenpaiWeb & Misao." Even after an year's time from its official release, back in January last year, Despacito is the most watched Youtube video ever, with over five billion views on the popular video sharing website. Despacito is followed by Wiz Khalifa's See You Again featuring Charlie Puth [Official Video] Furious 7 Soundtrack. Currently, PSY's Gangnam Style stands at fourth behind Ed Sheeran's Shape of You. The five minute video song shook the world with its catchy Spanish-English lyrics.

Here’s how the video song looked when the hackers took control of it:

The much-loved song was composed by Luis Fonsi and his Puerto Rican counterpart, rapper Daddy Yankee in January, 2017. Following the song’s popularity, Spanish singer Enrique Iglesias said, "Contrary to the past, music today has no boundaries. With the continual growth of music streaming, it's exciting to see that fans from all over the world are embracing Latin music and culture."
