I agree.  Hacking is a broad term for gaining unauthorized access to a computer system the method is not relevant to if it was a hack or not. Sitting in front of a computer and gaining the password by finding it written under the keyboard is hacking. 
As long as someone who is not supposed to uses it to gain access. 
That's hacking.  So is spear phfising to get the password or compromising a browser cookie to change the password or ....blackmailing the person until they give you access. It's all hacking.   A lot of coders call what they do hacking because that makes it sound cool and sexy. 

I disagree with this, phishing is a hacking method

why are you idiots aruging about semantics
neither of you know anything about 'hacking' 
shutup lol 

You never answered my question though. How do YOU define hacked. I am genuinely curious. At what point does it go from some idiot running a trojan to hacking?

(not trying to pick an argument. Just trying to understand your perspective)

Hello. This is my first post here so please be kind!
 
The company I work for suffered a major cyberattack a couple of years ago. I was heavily involved from start to finish so I just wanted to offer some insight. Before I start, I’d just like to say that this is based on my own experience and could be completely different from what’s happening at LMG.
 
Although the LMG channels were compromised, we don’t necessarily know how. If it’s even possible that a computer or server within LMG was accessed to steal session cookies or compromise 2FA they would probably want to shut everything down. In my own experience, it was a clause in our cybersecurity insurance that we must engage with an accredited cybersecurity company for guidance and their advice was to turn EVERYTHING off until a plan had been established.
 
After turning everything off, we had to isolate the company’s entire network from the Internet to ensure that the threat actor no longer had any access to our infrastructure. Then we began to turn things back on, slowly, while isolating them on the network. Our insurance company mandated that we must use the cybersecurity company’s software to scan all machines for any signs of compromise, including 0-day malware. We had to do this regardless of whether or not there were any signs of compromise - and it takes a lot of time!
 
Slowly but surely we worked our way through, while also analysing logs for any indications of how we were compromised. Only when we could be relatively certain that the threat actors no longer had access to our infrastructure did we start to de-isolate the network, re-enable Internet access, and restore services.
 
I post this just to demonstrate that there could be an awful lot going on behind the scenes at LMG. It isn’t necessarily just a case of asking YouTube to restore the channels. They have to be reasonably sure of the method by which they were compromised and that the attackers do not have further access to the LMG infrastructure. Of course, it’s entirely possible - likely even - that the attackers never had access to the LMG infrastructure, but they have to be sure, especially if the are potential legalities involved.
 
If anybody’s interested, my company is a lot larger than LMG and had decent security in place - but you’re only as secure as your weakest point and we came up short. We were outsmarted.

Luckily the "uneducated" ones aren't the super annoying ones...

It would help if you didn't make repeated posts with one line each. This isn't Discord.

Thanks for the concern everyone. We are still in recovery mode over here and working with YouTube to get everything restored. Will hopefully have a video (or at least an update on WAN Show) to share with you all ASAP, but we want to make sure we get the details right since smaller channels may rely on our experience to help harden their own security.

I'm also pretty sure, that IF this was possible- that with 2 cores and hyperthreading disabled it would beat the FX

AMD FX Series is shit in general. 

Your friend is an idiot. Even with hyperthreading disabled, the Xeon will demolish the FX in every single way.
 
 
FX CPUs are some of the worst CPUs to date, and the 4000 series is the worst out of the FX CPUs.

THANKYOU! Thats exactly what I've been telling him but he just calls me a know-it-all and says he's right

So I recently refurbished a laptop I got for free... I fixed what needed to be fixed, replaced anything broken, and tested everything which needed to be tested. Everything works fine, I had to install EVERY FUCKING DRIVER manually because there was no Wi-Fi card driver installed.  Now its working and I realized that I'm sitting in my livingroom with my router 5 feet away and I have a 2-3 bar connection strength... but I'm literally 5 feet away and anything else connected to my Wi-Fi is in another room and has better signal... No its NOT how many things are being connected at once, My router is a very good one, and noone else is using the Wi-Fi at the time, yet its slow as fuck... anyone know why?  The laptop is a Toshiba Satellite c55-b5350, I only plan to use it for YouTube but even that is lacking with this connection issue....

Alright thanks!

Thats when you just cut them all off and then use a donor CPU, unsolder those pins, place em in the socket and hope for the best lol

LOL yep!

It looks like the snow material is probably designed to look like that.
