It was the song of the summer last year, but it appears that the music video for ‘Despacito’ was targeted by hackers on YouTube .

The hackers, known as Prosox and Kuroi’sh, hacked a number of music videos hosted by Vevo on the video streaming site.

Along with Luis Fonsi’s hit, Despacito, other musicians targeted include Selena Gomez , Drake , Shakira and Taylor Swift.

The hackers appeared to change the thumbnail image of the targeted videos, and change the title to ‘hacked by prosox & kuroi’sh.’

They also added the caption ‘Free Palestine’ to the videos.

It is unclear how the hackers were able to access the videos - although YouTube reassures that this issue has now been resolved.

Speaking to Mirror.co.uk, a spokesperson for YouTube said: "After seeing unusual upload activity on a handful of VEVO channels, we worked quickly with our partner to disable access while they investigate the issue.”

Vevo also explained that the issue was on their end, and not with YouTube more broadly.

A Vevo spokesperson said: "Vevo can confirm that a number of videos in its catalogue were subject to a security breach today, which has now been contained. We are working to reinstate all videos affected and our catalogue to be restored to full working order. We are continuing to investigate the source of the breach."
