Many other VEVO channels are affected as well, I believe a major issue with credentials (password reuse?) across VEVO.



There is a N:N relationship between Google Accounts and YouTube channels. A channel can have more than one manager and a manager can manage more than one channel. It's possible that someone at Vevo has access to many of the channels, and just their one google account password was compromised.


Credential management is still one of the hardest problems in infosec at scale.
