Independent hip-hop record label AOMG released an official statement Wednesday to confirm that its official YouTube channel was hacked on Monday. The channel has 1.81 million subscribers.
“We managed to restore the channel as it was before the attack, however, the channel was shut down by YouTube for the contents presented by the hacker violated YouTube’s harmful or dangerous contents policies,” the statement said. “We are doing our best to bring the original AOMGOFFICIAL channel and its contents back. We apologize for your inconvenience and we promise to repair the channel as soon as possible.”
The channel was still not visible on the platform as of Tuesday afternoon.
AOMG represents artists such as Simon Dominic, Gray, Loco, Cha Cha Malone, Elo, Woo, Lee Hi Coogie, among many others. Singer Jay Park founded the label in 2013 but announced in December 2021 that he was stepping down from the CEO position but would remain as an advisor.
