Vevo Got Hacked

Now then, let’s be clear. Vevo just got hacked. Yes, Vevo did get hacked on September 15. Ouch. Poor Vevo. This is why people listening to music don’t like music video streams like Vevo and stick with people listen to audio music and radio. That’s all people listen to music does these days. Why people listen to audio music and radio dominate people listen to music in the west and the only people watch music videos online these days is music videos going by sex and product branding and international. Blame capitalism and social media for screwing up people going online these days. Why people go on the internet only appeal capitalism and social media and avoid variety like music videos? Let me guess, kids and money. Yeah, that’s all the US does these days. No matter the US is already in a downward spiral for the last 11 years and never stops. I want my America is great back. Stupid today’s kids and social media.

Now then, as you may know that Vevo was hacked last week and Variety will tell you why Vevo just got hacked. Take it away, Variety.

“A notorious hacker group broke into the servers of music-streaming service Vevo, releasing more than 3 terabytes of internal documents and video content online — before removing them later Friday morning at Vevo’s request.

The purloined cache, posted by hacking and security collective OurMine, included videos, a batch of documents labeled “premieres,” as well as marketing info, international social-media documents, and other internal files, as first reported by tech site Gizmodo.

Vevo confirmed the hack, which it said was the result of a phishing scam via LinkedIn. “We have addressed the issue and are investigating the extent of exposure,” a Vevo rep said in an emailed statement.

The 3.12-terabyte trove of stolen documents included Vevo’s internal dossiers on about 9o artists, including Ariana Grande, Britney Spears, Calvin Harris, Florida Georgia Line, Jennifer Lopez, Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, Madonna, One Direction, Sia, Taylor Swift, The Weeknd, and U2.

OurMine, in a post on its site, claimed it leaked the Vevo files late Thursday after an exchange with a Vevo employee who — upon being informed of the hack — allegedly told the hackers, “F— off, you don’t have anything.

In an update Friday morning, OurMine said that “We deleted the files because of a request from VEVO.”

OurMine over the past few years has targeted numerous companies and high-profile individuals, ostensibly as a guerrilla-style marketing effort for its security services.

Last month, OurMine hijacked the social-media accounts of HBO, which separately this summer was threatened with extortion demands from a hacker that stole 1.5 TB of the programmer’s files. Other victims have included Netflix, Marvel, Google, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Twitter chief Jack Dorsey.

New York-based Vevo is jointly owned by Universal Music Group, Sony Music Entertainment, Warner Music Group, Abu Dhabi Media, and Alphabet (Google’s parent).”

Thanks, Variety. See this? This is why western people like western kids have moved on from Vevo because music videos gained a lot of views on the internet only appeal sex and product branding sells most and product branding. That’s it. They don’t respect variety like country music and Avril Lavigne. Why, western music business, why? This is why I don’t trust hacking and capitalism. I want my variety back.

Stupid hackers.
