(@chartarianadata) April 5, 2022 Many of the clips uploaded to these artists\u2019 profiles included strange videos with captions that alluded to a hack from someone named \u2018LOSPELAOSBRO\u2019 on Twitter. The videos ranged from a 51-year-old Spaniard named Paco Sanz singing an off-key song while playing a guitar, to most notably, a re-upload of IShowSpeed\u2019s music video for his song \u2018Shake.\u2019 The YouTuber\u2019s music video has garnered over 65 million views at the time of writing \u2014 just four months after being uploaded in November 2021. The hacker also included the hashtag #FreePacoSanz in the videos\u2019 descriptions, along with the caption: \u201cWe will not stop until the political prisoner Paco Sanz is released.\u201d Paco Sanz, also known as the \u201cman with 2,000 tumors,\u201d is a 51-year-old former security guard who claimed he had Cowden Syndrome \u2014 a condition characterized by the presence of many non-cancerous tumors. However, it was reported that Sanz had allegedly lied about the severity of his condition. He received a two-year jail sentence for defrauding donors out of hundreds of thousands of dollars for funds to cure his Cowden Syndrome.

(@wheresthejam9) April 5, 2022 Luckily, the artists\u2019 YouTube channels affected by the hack are now back in order, with all the offending videos removed. IShowSpeed has made no comment on the odd situation at the time of writing. This isn\u2019t the first giant hack to affect a swath of celebrities, by far; back in September 2019, a number of celebrities and influencers\u2019 Twitter accounts were compromised by a group of hackers who even infiltrated the profile of former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
