The YouTube account of Sansad TV, which broadcasts live proceedings of Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, was disabled by the platform on Tuesday “for violating YouTube’s Community Guidelines.” 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), it said. “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 am, it said. Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-ln), the nodal agency for responding to cyber security incidents in India, also reported the incident and had alerted Sansad TV, the statement noted. “However, later on, YouTube has started fixing the security threats permanently and it shall be restored ASAP,” it said.
