Hey Terenry,,, I think someone hacked your discord account too :( I got some preeetty suspicious 18+ links….
I hope you can escape all this hacking soon, this must be super stressful :sobs:

omg thank you for letting me know!

these hackers won't stop skljds

I think my biggest issue was NOT changing my Discord password

I changed it on the other sites, but I completely forgot about discord

I will look into it right now!

They're unrelenting...
Good luck!!!! Hopefully it really was the password and not something else :')

I already recovered my channel!
they were actually keeping me updated and guiding me through the process ^^

good job on recovering it! :D :00

nooooo good luck with getting your account back!!

This scam has been going around YouTube for a while now, they're using something similar to REDLINE stealer which is malware that steals your (Youtube) ID-credentials from your browser, so they can log in with that and bypass 2FA or passwords.

You probably got this malware from a fake sponsor request, and you opened one of the files that they sent you, which contained the malware. I would scan your device or reset it, since it's probably still on there.  As long as it is still on there, changing your password won't help since if it's active malware it will just resend the credentials towards the attacker, and it will happen all over again.

Be careful with the stuff you open!

I know June (Ginjaninjaowo) got something very similar not too long ago. i would recommend trying to reach out to them about it and youtube for suspicious activity. Goodluck, hope you get your account back!!

just right after you posted your new amv?? that sucks. Maybe try contacting youtube and google? https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/76187?hl=en 

Hope you recover soon! :D


Hope you get it back,, that’s really awful,, especially after you just posted the new amv :(

Looks like the videos are only private,, luckily,, since apparently the point of hacking most channels is because of their view count etc.. but I genuinely hope youtube support steps up their game and gets it back quicker !! ,, best wishes !!

Why are those away NFT shit people, my god. They already changed your entire yt account sadly...

I hope you still can get it back somehow, that sucks for sure... Good luck :/

Hopefully for the time being, maybe make an alt google acc, and change your toyhouse, DeviantArt, Instagram, etc's Google account? I know toyhouse lets you change the email, and dA does too, but I don't have an Ig so I'm not sure about that one. It'll help protect what you have left, while you also try to recover the other account<3

definitely doing that, thank you! :>

I hope this gets resolved soon! Maybe contact Google and see if they can change the password/log you out of unknown devices?

Oh god, I'm so sorry to hear this. I feel bad that I don't have any tips to help, but I wish you the best to recover your account. :(

I'm so sorry this happened! My Google, twitter and epic games account were all hacked end of last year but thankfully I was able to save them. My bf was unlucky and his facebook was hacked then deactivated by FB permanently TwT

- Change your password for your Google account AND any other important accounts like PayPal, banking, social media, etc. esp if you save your passwords for autofill

- Log yourself out of any devices you don't recognise

- Use 2 step verification like the Google authenticator

- If you have a back up email linked to the account be sure to change the password for that one too!

- If you get a bunch of emails saying "failed to deliver message" don't panic. The hacker spoofed your email to send spam and phishing mail. It should stop in a few days.

Good luck securing your account and hope everything goes well! ;o; <3

I'm glad you were able to recover them! I'm just reading people who got in a similar situation and it's kinda a 50/50, some got it back and some didn't ;sob; but i'm trying to stay positive ;w;

I can't login back to my google account bc the email + passwords were changed, but I'm definitely securing my other accs for the time being
still thanks for your advice, really helps out!

Im so sorry dude, ive gotten hacked before and i know its scary :( if you have any other devices that you could potentially change your password on, or if you have a recovery account or phone number that you could use that might be helpful 

And if it’s possible i hope you can transfer your accounts on other applications to another email temporarily so they don’t get hacked either, this kind of stuff is very confusing and I’m sorry i can’t be of much help, i hope you can figure this out soon tho <:D

I have backup accounts, but it seems the hacker has removed them all, including my phone number! I can't login to that account because the email and passwords were also changed :<

I've been changing passwords and updating stuff for the time being tho !! so hopefully that helps as I try to search for alternative solutions

im not sure how much i can help, but see if you can go to your security settings and check your sessions/devices, if theres a session/device you dont recognize then that might be the hacker and you can kick them out from there!!

im sorry to here that, i hope you recover it soon! i suggest turning on 2 step verification next time if you haven’t already, it’ll add extra security to your google account.

^^ 

damn I hope you manage to recover it :( if you still have time you can try to change the password

I would switch email addresses for important things if you can, or if you can't figure anything else out! Good luck with everything tho oh man :(

hope you can recover it

i had an old google account hacked ages ago but it was before some of the better security measures as well as i was quite young

so couldnt recover it

Omg thats horrible :'O I hope everything gets sorted out soon :'O /vgen Hmm maybe reset the password to the acc? ^^

I was logged out of my account and the password was immediately anything D; it was unlikely I could have done anything
but thanks for the encouragement!

Say that you are having trouble paying for YouTube Premium and their customer service will be 10x faster to respond


On a serious note you can Tweet at Google's Twitter account too for support since Google replies to account problems there regularly

WAHJSA I'd honestly do that as my last resource sob
it seems that TeamYT on twit are able to help, I already got in contact and waiting for a response!

hmm you have a second google account and try using the second account to write a support service
