April 01, 2017 – Omnia Media YouTube Network hacked by OurMine Roughly 300 of the biggest channels partnered with YouTube network “” are affected. The hacker group “” seems to be behind it.
The hackers changed the video titles of all affected channels to: “OurMine Are Back! ( Read the description )”. Then the video description reads: Hey, it’s OurMine don’t worry we are just testing your security, please contact us for more information [email protected] Omnia Media specializes in partnering with gaming channels.
As such it’s mostly gaming YouTubers (including my own ) that are affected. Either all their videos, or a large portion of them, were renamed and the descriptions replaced. However, no channels or videos were deleted entirely. I myself am a managed partner at Omnia and have been affected by this. It’s a significant problem for channels that depend on search results – because if all videos have the same name it’s challenging for viewers to find what they are looking for and videos no longer show up in Google’s (or YouTube’s) search results under the correct terms. This really messes with YouTube’s algorithms and could potentially cripple a channel if not properly fixed by YouTube’s engineers. Here’s what went down:.
When a YouTuber wants to work with Omnia Media they must connect their channel to them and give certain privileges (that includes editing video details). Please note that this is the same process for any other YouTube network and not specific to Omnia Media. This could potentially happen with any other network and some of them have hundreds of thousands of partners. The attackers supposedly hacked into Omnia Media’s systems. From there they had access to videos of all managed partners and could bulk edit them. Explanation: there are “managed” partners and “affiliates”.
Out of Omnia Media’s roughly 1400 partners only 300 have the “managed” status. None of the 1100 partners with “affiliate” status were affected.
It seems like a security exploit with the YouTube API and neither Omnia Media nor YouTube adequately secured their systems against such attacks. Again, the API allows a third party, Omnia Media, to alter video details and this hack demonstrates how dangerous this is. According to the video description that the hackers left behind, the goal may have been to showcase a security flaw with the current system. None of the channels were compromised or hacked directly. The hackers did not obtain the passwords of these channels. An employee of Omnia Media confirmed to me that no personal data of us YouTubers was leaked during the attack. All creators (including myself) still have access to their YouTube channels and social media.
Everything should be fine once it gets fixed and the channels can keep posting videos. Playlist names, channel names and video tags are not affected. According to a tweet by Omnia Media, YouTube is actively working on restoring the video titles and descriptions. So at least they have backups and can roll back the metadata. Given that so many videos were hit at once it remains to be seen how swiftly YouTube will handle this. Most of these channels are well established and have been around for several years – so they have produced a large number of videos (many thousands on some).
6 hours after the hack none of my videos have been fixed yet. A handful of videos on other channels are fixed but it’s unclear if the creators changed them on their own or if YouTube did. All of this begs the question why YouTube networks can change video details in the first place. They do not need and should not possess this power. Imagine a bigger network like BroadbandTV (230.000+ partners) or Fullscreen (54.000+ partners) getting hacked like this.
Given that a very large amount of content creators is partnered through a network and not with YouTube directly this could cripple a huge part of the website. UPDATE #1 – 9:30 PM (Pacific Time) April 01, 2017: At approximately 9:30 PM pacific time (April 01, 2017) the hackers sent an email to people on Omnia Media’s email list, so it is possible they obtained email addresses of many YouTubers. UPDATE #2 – 4:00 PM (Pacific Time) April 03, 2017: YouTube has now fully reverted all titles and descriptions of my videos.
A few single videos of other channels haven’t reverted yet, but they should soon. After the hack it took YouTube 48 hours to fix the affected channels (keep in mind the OurMine hack happened on a weekend).
Thanks to the people at YouTube and Omnia Media for their quick help in this matter! Updates are still coming in from.

YouTube is and has been processing it overnight. — Omnia Media (@OmniaMediaCo) Titles and descriptions should be nearly updated this morning – tags have been restored for February / March and continue to be resolved ^AL — Omnia Media (@OmniaMediaCo). Omnia Media’s network reaches 1.8 Billion views each month. Below is a list of some of the channels affected. Yeah, I was watching a video, and I saw in the “Recommended for you” place, OurMine Are Back!

( Read the description ). The YouTuber was a computer person, so I clicked it and looked in the description. There is said all that.
I was so confused. I pressed the link and worked out they were hackers. I have another YouTuber for the list, they are: EverythingApplePro (3.4M) Some of his videos have been hacked. I think Google should make sure nobody can hack this, and block OurMine if they really hate this. That is what I think.
I’ve got here after I noticed Alex Wassabi’s video named changer from “they don’t like my new hair”, or something like that to ourmine But then a lot of his videos were changed to “you’re awesome:)”. After that, I went to go check Lilly Song’s channel, and then I saw her video’s named are now “dopest video ever” and her vlogs are now “dopest vlog ever”. I really think that Youtube shouldn’t have any right to change so in the 1st place. I’m PRETTY sure that Lilly will be pissed about this though. PLZ FIX!!!????.
