Twitter accounts aren’t the only accounts being hacked anymore! Celeb YouTube accounts are also falling victim to online hackers, well kind of! A YouTube account under the name iLCreation is going around YouTube reporting fake copyright claims. The account has already went after Lady Gaga, but Bieber fans are crazier than Gaga fans so the person running this account better be careful! Read more about what the account is doing after the jump!

Justin Bieber has been victimized by a brand new cyber-enemy … an enemy who found a way to get every single one of JB’s official music videos REMOVED from YouTube.
It sounds so simple — a YouTube user who goes by the name iLCreation submitted a copyright claim on each of Bieber’s videos … including the “Baby” video which has over 600 MILLION views.
YouTube has a yank first, ask questions later policy when a copyright claim is made — so they simply pulled the videos off the site … until the dispute is resolved.
iLCreation also went after a few Lady Gaga videos — but only a few of her videos are missing in action.
Bieber’s VEVO channel (a dedicated site for music videos) has been completely wiped out for the time being … but a rep for VEVO tells us, “Someone is making false copyright claims against the Justin Bieber and Lady Gaga channels and YouTube has blocked access to the videos as a result. We are working with YouTube to resolve ASAP.”
