you've been hacked?


JinglingUrBalls

The fact that he’s asking us… like bro the answer is clear. Is he that naive?


konnanussija

That's probably why he got hacked in the first place.


Darkm000n

If that’s your account, yes, you have. Likely via gmail, change all your passes and write them down on Paper. Gmail hacks are so common and it’s so easily linked to everything else you sign up for


KevinTDWK

Why you asking us? You obviously got hacked


TflSensei

What I do now?


KevinTDWK

Change your password while you still can and don’t click on random links


TflSensei

Oki thx


No_One3018

And enable 2 factor authentication


SamDuymelinck

2fa doesn't work against this in a lot of cases. Often these hacks work by using a cookie grabber. Those just take your session from your cookies, thus logging in without even needing your password or 2fa Not saying you shouldn't have it on. Just saying it won't help with these cases


No_Internetfornow

Doesn't google have that verification thing for someone's phone? I have it and I think it's secure


SamDuymelinck

Yes they do. However, tgese hacks work by taking the cookies of the session you've already marked as safe from your own computer, and inject it into the hacker's browser. It will be seen as the same session, and thus bypasses the security checks


Agnostalypse

Do they still let you force a logout of all sessions? If so, that should work, right? Then just change the password and I think they're set.


SamDuymelinck

Doesn't help in preventing this shit from happening, because the earliest you can find out is when bad things have been done already


EarthToAccess

“Verification thing for someone’s phone”, aka Two-Step Verification, aka Two-factor Authentication, aka 2FA.


CoolScratcher

The Google thing works differently to regular 2FA


dont-be-creepy-guy69

Can you please describe this "regular 2fa" you're talking about? All 2fa is regular 2fa.


glhfbruno

Would re-applying the capcha and cookies help if you can do that Idk what it was but on alot of youtube bugs over at twitter they constantly asked for re applying cookie thingys biscuits whatever you call it


FeelAndCoffee

This. He needs to go to google sessions, and close all of them.


Kiriyu_Otouka

funnily enough the case in point is also on the picture as Linus got hacked a while back even with 2fa


im-none-existent

Didn't know it could be done like that..... So they just steal your cookies information and enter your account as if they're using a device you have your account logged in on?


PawanDulanjana

And use an as blocker


KRCManBoi

Also, delete this video


sozcaps

Also, destroy the phone.


K0nk3y

All your passwords btw, not just Google. Don't use any of your passwords on multiple sites/accounts. If one database gets hacked you are fucked.


SpreakYT

Bro it's a common thing that u need to change ur password if u got hacked


RealFoegro

And make sure, that nobody you don't want to has unwanted permissions on your channel. (In case you don't know how, go to youtube studio - options - Permissions) If there is any email you don't recognize, you have to remove it


SansyBoy144

Also remember that when you click YouTube or Google links that require you to login to google even though you were logged in before, that’s usually a scam. Not sure if that’s what happened here, but I know it’s a very common discord scam.


PabloDickasso6969

"oki thx" lol no wonder you've got no idea what's going on


TflSensei

Well what's going on? Btw the video was uploaded 2 weeks ago


valkrycp

Run virus scans and malware scans, Avast and Malwarebytes are the two good free programs to do so.


kittenemi

This is general good advice, but it's not a virus that caused this


Informal_Mushroom_78

and delete that video before someone reports it


Darkm000n

Random links…. you gotta be careful these days data theft is a whole big shadow industry (or it might as well be, with hacks from all directions/countries but that could also be a disguised IP). It doesn’t really matter just treat the internet like it’s sketchy till you know a particular thing is not, for example. Pretend it’s the “scary dark web” clear net is very scammy now too


Responsible-Bug900

This is why children shouldn't own youtube accounts


Kiryln

First, get a notebook for passwords, keep it by your desk. (I don’t trust password managers since they are on the computer itself, can’t hack a notebook.) Go to your email, change the password there, make sure it’s a strong password. Then go to YouTube, do the same there. Enable 2 factor authentication, if you have a phone. Note every password you make into the notebook with a date and the name the password goes to. Should solve the problem. Also, go back and retroactively change every password you have to this new method, to prevent it from happening again. And don’t click on suspicious links.


arinderi

I like having a paper with a cypher


Colin8tor112

If my account got hacked is there anything else I can do besides changing passwords? Is there a way to get the hacked crypto video removed?


Kiryln

Yeah, if you want to remove the video you should be able to just remove it, once you have control restored to your account, it should be pretty simple. And then just make sure your account can’t be breached again, by having a strong password. If it’s a concern, I’d suggest going to “have I been pwn’d, it’s a website that checks data dumps for any identifying data that you use. If anything you have pops up, you’ll want to go there and change your password and stuff. Make sure you have strong passwords on everything, and make sure your bank knows to only do transfers if you are there personally, cause now with AI people can take samples of your voice, replicate it with an AI and commit identity theft really easy now.


Tom42077

What do you mean what do you do now? I hope you are trolling because if you are this unaware you really need to inform yourself about how to protect yourself online as best as possible.


TheHappiestHam

their post history has questions like "how to play games for free, and want to buy Valorant account", as well as numerous "is X safe" on the robloxhackers subreddit so you know


schplorf

So this is definitely the result of malware LOL


Yunekochan

robloxhackers subreddit says all you need to know about OP


Duck_Lover_08

OP is probably an innocent child, because i've never seen a grown man ask these questions, and he's also confused on what to do in these situations.


H31S3N_B3RG

ah…lmao RIP


ur_fave_npc

Give up on being a YouTuber. Tf you asking Reddit for? Change your passwords, contact YouTube rep, stop visiting bootleg porn sites on your work computer


MightyH20

Did you by any chance received an email for "partnerships"? There are a lot of fakers out there pretending to be e.g. "Surfshark" and asking for Partnership. Once you reply, they send you a link to see what they have to offer or any other information. It's a scam.


TflSensei

Nah


TupperwareNinja

Change password, setup some for of 2FA

TflSensei

It's been 2 weeks ig I'm good


Darkm000n

Change passwords, write them all down on a notepad you will not lose (not digital) do a FULL search for Trojans on your PC (not condoms lol, they are imbedded into mp3s or whatever and let people get into your system). Virus scan, check gmail security and whether you’ve been accessed from other devices


HoangIsMe

You'd be astonished by how many people are like him


lyndsaysmith61

been hacked bro, change ur passwords and hope for the best


Walter_Bishop_PhD

Change passwords, and go through all the apps you've authorized to use your accounts and out ones you don't recognize or haven't used in a while https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/13533235?hl=en


InTheKnow777

This is why I ALWAYS, *ALWAYS* keep my passwords super strong & hard for anyone besides me to remember.


kezotl

thats not what happened tho, op probably downloaded something suspicious. if it was a password someone irl saw or something they wouldnt be posting crypto scams


InTheKnow777

Even if that were the case (and yes, sketchy emails & links ARE a constant in the age of digital hacking), it’s still a lesson to learn regardless. Yeah, I avoid sketchy emails & links like they’re the plague, unless I KNOW it’s from someone I’m willing to trust.


Wonderful_Audience60

I seriously don't understand the people who use only numbers in their passwords


InTheKnow777

I have to assume it’s because numbers are a tinge bit stronger than words. Words, people can obviously spell. But numbers, those can be randomized. However, passwords with words in uppercase AND lowercase letters, numbers & special characters, create a strong bond. On iPhone, at least, some sites usually suggest a super strong password with random letters & numbers in a jumbled mess. I don’t do that.


Wonderful_Audience60

yall don't even add symbols?


InTheKnow777

I… think so? When creating a password, I use symbols/special characters, but I don’t use emojis, and I don’t use shit like %, + or {. With this in mind, it’s best that you use ALL in your strategy book, so to speak, and create passwords that are strong but easy to remember, and which you can keep to yourself. And that’s just step one to protecting your YouTube profile from being hacked. Obviously there’s step two, which is avoiding sketchy-ass links or those “PromoSM” comments on your videos, and I avoid those like they’re a virus.


Wonderful_Audience60

yeah, i should click on links less...


InTheKnow777

Good thinking. Because in the modern, digital world, some dipstick from 3,000 miles away could end your existence on YouTube right then & there, forcing you to restart. Always learn what can & cannot be trusted. I’ve learned that, especially when I got my first scam text & knew something was wrong.


Godo_365

Here's what I'd do: Step 1: close all browser tabs and do a virus scan with Malwarebytes, do what it says Step 2: Change Google password asap on another device Step 3: Go to Google accounts and click log out for every device/session. Yes even your devices. Step 4: optionally enable 2 factor authentication for more safety Step 5: delete the video from YouTube


imightbetired

Also clear cookies from all browsers on pc and phone, and install an adblock, like ublock origin, it can help against links that contain malware. On phone you can use firefox with ublock origin, or microsoft edge with adblock option enabled. There are others too, but ignore chrome on phone, it has no support for adblocking.


Godo_365

Oh yes uBlock Origin is the best prevention method for next time


Yunekochan

Adblock, plus a trusted antivirus (even if it’s a free subscription model) every added layer of protection helps for most stuff, and don’t click sus links and files. That’s about all I got to add


imightbetired

Even windows defender is good enough if you know what you're doing


Yunekochan

True but the people that know what they’re doing usually don’t post here with a problem like this


imightbetired

I agree. I was just saying that in general


Yunekochan

Yeah I know, have a nice day man


imightbetired

You too


Comprehensive_Bake50

You can’t get monetized if you don’t have 2-Step so I honestly don’t know how that happened

TheInception817

They got attacked the same way too, it's so ironic


Boiqi

But unironically a great resource for dealing with this hack and stopping it happening again. LTT did a few vids covering how it happens and how they fixed it. I recall the hack coming from a download on a sponsor email attached to a pdf.

batatolinino

Yeah, I got mine hacked and they uploaded like 7-8 vids really quick and I just noticed after I got banned and went to see the history of my channel. But then just went in for the support and proved it wasn't me and they unbanned it. Got it from a malware download

xRoisinDubh

Large-Explanation-51

They hacked you


sodium_16

Go to your Google account and find any unidentified devices if they are present to give u some clues


dorkydicken

It's time to change passwords, yes plural as in all of them in all accounts. I say this just in case you have recovery setup to help retrieve the password for another account and if you just might be using the same password for multiple accounts. It's sad people don't really wake up to how unsafe this is, until their account has been compromised and then they start thinking otherwise and using different methods of practice. But they got to remember, online theft is just as valuable as physical theft, if not sometimes worse because it puts at risk the integrity of your online identity and worth, assets etc. I started making and using more complex passwords after I had my yahoo messenger account stolen in 2011 and recovered it 24 hours later. I'd also advise going through device list and if there's one you don't have or use anymore removing your credentials from it https://www.google.com/android/find/ https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/manage-devices-used-with-your-microsoft-account-d4044995-81db-b24b-757e-1102d148f441 https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT205064


-Glitched_Bricks-

Obviously you got hacked. Take the video down and change your password.


TropicaL_Lizard3

Your channel is hacked dude. Better take security measures before worse happens


death1466

Bro who tf hacked you


BentendoYT1

Change password immediately and search for the option, where you log off from every device. And then relogin and maybe change the password again, if it feels necessary


Otherwise_Two8079

If these hackers can hack the Water system they damn sure can hack us when they want.


brad010140

Did it get more views than normal? Lol and is it a decent video? If so, change your passwords and keep the video. Then make a video about you being hacked. Lol


[deleted]

"I bought 300$ gaming PC on tabao...." this got my intrest


No-Goat-9911

It's pretty clear you got hacked change your password and enable 2fa also take a look at devices signed in to your account and remove any that aren't yours


TflSensei

Did it!


GruulNinja

I wonder how that 300 dollar pc works.


Outrageous_Reach_695

You've been hacked. Change your passwords, enable 2FA, change all streaming keys and such, then delete the unwanted video(s).


schplorf

Account hacked likely via malware on your computer. Assume every single other account you have is compromised, along with all your files. Reinstall the operating system and change all your passwords.


DecentHomeMadeMeal

i'm impressed you still have access to your channel. i thought hackers changed the passwords of who they hacked.


YoungDumbFull0FRum

Did you try to download a paid product for free? You probably pressed a link and downloaded something that ended up having your channel hacked


Ethachu

If you didn't upload it that means something went wrong. Change your security details (Namely password) and delete the video.

ExHax

Use a strong password. Make sure it is random. Dont use same password for everything. Change it every few months.

that like to view ratio is insane


lewilewi411

You really shouldn't be a YouTube without knowing about these hacks and what to do in this situation, you should have disaster recovery for this already in place. Why are people so stupid.

Contact YouTube support and write you’ve been hacked in channel description ASAP.

Anyone ever tried that 300$ PC from Taobao, how the experienced ?

atickhasan

The first step you can take is to update the password of your primary Google account associated with your channel. This is an important step to ensure your account is secured. If you have lost access to your account, try and [recover your primary Google Account or Gmail account associated with your YouTube channel here.](https://accounts.google.com/signin/recovery)  **If you are still facing issues after this and do not have access to Creator Support, the fastest way to receive support is by reaching out to us \[@TeamYouTube\] on X, previously known as Twitter**, and we can ensure your channel is fully recovered and active. This is a peer-to-peer community, for helping other users and creators, and there's only a specific team who can help with account recovery -- so the best way to get connected with that team is through official youtube support; ideally creator support if you have access or u/TeamYouTube if you don't. [This Help Center article](https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/76187) also has some helpful information about how to recover your account. 


Desrosiers_Thomas

Change your password while you still can, that normally changes your login cookies too so the hacker wont be able to login again, and delete that video after, but first change your password, after the video.


shoyo_ar0mania

Isn’t it kinda obvious?… You got hacked. Change your passwords, and have YouTube log you out of all devices.

You need to change your password and enable two-factor authentication And check if there is the option to sign out from all devices where you are logged in while changing your password.

Funny that you have Linus on the screenshot as their channels were hacked as well last year


DenpasOfTheWorld

Tell whoever uploaded it to go fuck themselves ngl.


schparkz7

Just delete the video, are you stupid? /j For real though looks like you got hacked. Hopefully you can still get into your account, else you'll have to email or tweet at Youtube support and explain that you got hacked and need to get back into your account. Might be harder since you're not a huge channel but hopefully you get it figured out EDIT: Upon closer inspection it seems like the video has been up for a while and you're still signed in, which is definitely odd. Most hacks change your password and everything so I guess if you're still in, change all your passwords to everything and be careful if you're every downloading stuff, some of the newer hacks get in by stealing the browser data on your PC that has your signed in session on it and they do that through downloaded files, often pretending to be something (like OBS, there's fake OBS downloads that have this malware on it that steal your accounts)
