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.

2) Forums get some stress testing.

I think Linus mentioned in one video that this forum serves as a "oh no" panic button, and looks like it's serving that exact purpose right now!

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

you can go on their twitter because they post the link of basically every video they upload

Tesla Livestream is back up. Looks like there's a bit of a backend battle going on.

Yes. It seems to be the typical Elon musk bitcoin scam. 

 

Its highly likely that a editor account was compromised

Collab with YouTube to explain how YouTube is going to improve security on the platform.

Yeah the forum servers are going through some heavy workloads haha…

 

Looks like nobody is viewing the livestream right now and it’s subscriber only mode but who knows if I’m right…

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.

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.

You can't fake the credit card information.

You could also use the logs of the Domain Registrar to trace them.

If you follow the trail you will get to them.

You can't even report a hacked youtube channel to Youtube, we are at the mercy of someone at LTT waking up and putting a stop to it, lmfao
