Iker Jiménez’s YouTube channel no longer exists. The video platform has decided to eliminate him suddenly after his controversial coverage of DANA, as several of the presenter’s users have denounced and he himself has confirmed on his social networks with a resounding message.
“Indeed, the channel has been blown up. What a coincidence, right? A well-planned attack. Let’s see if we can recover it. In the meantime, I’m going with some light reading that is very appropriate for these times,” he declares.
It was initially suspected that different groups of people could have organized to denounce Iker Jiménez’s channel simultaneously and that the company’s security systems would automatically jump, the truth is that the Mediaset communicator’s channel has been hacked. In fact, the criminals even made a broadcast with the usurped account, before it was suspended by YouTube.
In these situations, YouTube’s technical and human team proceeds to analyze each case over an indeterminate period of time to make a decision about the channel in question. As this is a fact unrelated to the content broadcast, everything indicates that Iker Jiménez will be able to recover his space on the platform.
