I think YES

Someone is working overtime and probably deserves a raise for them to get it  at least back to LTT *something* this fast:

In these cookie hijack sessions which is what happened by the looks of it, they hide the videos don't delete them.

Also because they hijack the cookies, they just have auto login access no ability to change the channels passwords etc.

Youtube itself still relies on such dated tech? No 2FA on settings change? So weird...

[Anvith]

Yeah someone is working on it. But the streamkeys still seem to be active and probably a account with editor access that the scammer controls still exists in their account. 

[Thaldor]

And good thing the most important videos are still there.

 

 

I don't know how I could live without LTT telling me how to hide my... Random unboxings of the yesterday.

[Needfuldoer]

One of the live streams just disappeared again.

[Megaminer12347]

aaaand its back up

[foxytech8]

logo is back the channel in now under control of youtube

 

[WingsOfSpeed]

This is going to be an interesting WAN show this week

[fesdonomist]

All the videos are just unlisted, not deleted, go into playlists and you will find them. all the descriptions have elon musk crypto scammer bullshit at the start, but they're still mostly intact. I think they have control back over the account, it says LinusTechTipsTemp and the handle is @temporaryhandle, and the icon is back.

[jacobsnedd]

only 13 videos now!!

Not how session cookies work, it's how browsers work.

Anything you auto-login with can be hijacked by importing the session cookies you steal.

You can find videos on Youtube about how to spoof 2FA, it's not really secure....

Did ltt get hacked

[Laeven]

Woke up to find they changed their name to 'Tesla'. Now the hacker is unlisting/deleting videos. I'd be spamming linus and team about this to get the ball rolling.

[FlunderFluff]

WAN Show this week finna be lit

 

[Justinforeman200]

There is a guy on yt talking about this exact scam 9 days ago showing the same lives that are running on LTT right now. I searched Elon Musk crypto to see if any other channels were hacked and running the same crap and this has been happening, they just got our fav channel this time.
