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.

Well, there must be at least one forum mod who's awake and online. All the channel hack discussion threads are getting merged.

 

Hopefully a few people who can actually do something about this have been alerted by now!

Because the mods are merging all the "OMG LTT YouTube CHANNEL GOT HACKED!" threads together. We only need one!

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.

- I do have some experience, and I can use google pretty well. - Feel free to quote me I may respond soon.
