“Somoy TV’s YouTube channel is now secure but the name given by the hackers, Ethereum 2.0, remains in place because there has been a directive from the YouTube support team not to make any change to facilitate investigation,” Salim said.
At the same time, he said the news portal of the Somoy TV, somoynews.tv, was also attacked by the hackers but it was immediately secured.
