Puerto Rican singer Luis Fonsi's single "Despacito", the most watched video on YouTube was deleted from YouTube’s Vevo account which shows official music videos among many other things in an apparent case of hacking.

The video was unavailable on YouTube for over an hour before being restored.

The original link of the music video on YouTube read, "This video has been removed by the user".

The hackers apparently changed the thumbnail and title of the song on YouTube and replaced it with a picture of masked figures aiming guns at the camera.

The video featuring Daddy Yankee had reached the 5 billion views milestone five days ago.

The hackers, calling themselves Prosox and Kuroi’sh, reportedly wrote “Free Palestine” beneath the videos.

"Despacito", which was released in January 2017, went on to break several records in music streaming, including being the single with the most weeks at No 1 in the US at 16 consecutive weeks.
