There were even theories that the hack could be related to international politics, with some suggesting that it could be a form of cyber warfare.
Despite the initial chaos, the PCB management eventually recovered the channel and restored it to its original state. The privatized videos were made available once again, and the logo and name of the channel were changed back to their original versions.
Yet to ascertain who was behind the hack or what their intentions were. The PCB has not released any information on the matter, stating that they are still investigating the incident and working with YouTube to determine the perpetrators.
This serves as a reminder of the usefulness of cybersecurity and the need for organizations to protect their online platforms and assets.
