The files published online were not very secret: they were mainly documents, videos, and promotional materials.
Vevo has confirmed the attack and said the source was a phishing scam through LinkedIn. A company representative said that the extent of the leak is still being investigated.

After this hacker attack, the well-known popular music video service Vevo experiences a bit of what happened with HBO in July when the producer suffered leaks and scripts from Game of Thrones.
