Posted by LinusTech,

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.

Dont forget to mark as solution if your question is answered

Note: My advice is amateur help/beginner troubleshooting, someone else can probably troubleshoot way better than me.

What the heck guys? Not the LTT😡

They taught us to secure our personal data. Now this! Years of hardwork just like that.

For anyone who does want to watch actual LTT videos, the playlists are still up so you can watch any linked in there.

Even with the greatest care given to security, you can't be 100% safe.

Was just about to post on this forum about the same topic. Wanted to watch the new video but saw “LinusTechTipsTemp” instead and I couldn’t find any new videos. Then I realized what happened when I saw the picture of Elon musk because I have heard of the crypto scam.

 

unfortunately I think many LTT subscribers may fall for this so everyone needs to get the word out!!

I love making PCPartPicker lists.

If I answer your question (or someone else), please mark it as the answer. 

Please refresh before replying, I like to edit my posts.

Looks like the old videos haven't been deleted, just hidden. I can still watch at least the few that I watched recently.

Old videos have been unlisted, you can still them from the playlists. I guess not all videos might be in the playlist(s).

They're unlisted in playlists, but it will be a pain to put them all back public.

Sounds like a perfect opportunity to do a collab video with Tom Scott explaining how the hack occured, but right after this note from our sponsor, NordVPN.

pretty sure most scammers are smarter than to use legit traceable information when hosting a domain.

If it's not a script kiddie it prolly just a honeypot.
