This comes after the Mojo Story videos were deleted by hackers earlier
After the YouTube channel of Mojo Story was hacked earlier, Barkha Dutt shared a new video on Twitter saying that the deleted content has been restored by YouTube.
“Felt violated & cried a lot but thanks to @TeamYouTube, we are finally back”, she Tweeted.
In a tweet last night, Dutt said that Mojo Story’s email and YouTube channel were hacked and she and her team were unable to access the platform.
“After hours of urging @TeamYouTube to act & being assured action is being taken, I woke up to find @themojostory channel content ALL DELETED by the hackers- four years of blood, toil, sweat, tears, 11 thousand videos, COVID work of 3 years, ALL GONE. I am heartbroken, ” she Tweeted.
She further wrote, “ I don't know how many times we urged @YouTube to freeze the platform so that the hackers could not alter it. But we kept being told "process of investigation has to be followed" - and now its gone.”
The hackers had renamed the news platform’s YouTube account as “@teslanewstar05” and deleted all videos. A video featuring billionaire Elon Musk was also uploaded.
The incident triggered a wave of anger and disappointment on Twitter, with journalists, politicians, lawyers, and viewers of Mojo Story expressing their frustration. Many called on YouTube to rectify the situation and restore the channel.
