      Hackers are so talented. If only they would use that talent for good, instead of bad. It has taken me a good few months just to learn what they do to try and hack things and I still don't even know how to replicate it in an attempt to figure out how hackers actually operate, let alone stop them.

      because these hacks because quite common occurrence and youtube had to delegate a special support team to deal with this , i still remember time where it first happened and people sometimes waited half a year or 3 months to have chanel reinstated (some also never got reinstated ratio was like 60/40 or 50/50 depending if channel was big or small , smaller ones had no chance to be reinstated) , it shows that youtube is doing something about it or atleast they are trying.

    @UltravioletNomad Před rokem +12

    Two biggest security precautions you can take that you don't typically hear.
    1. If you don't have third party manager fielding your emails to theirs, make your own business email, completely detached from all of your accounts but listed on all your pages.
    2. Make a virtual machine that you use to access said emails so that IF you get compromised, you can reset the VM like nothing happened.
    Of course these steps are also improved with a VPN so other IPs on your network aren't breached, though that's unlikely.

And I guess the terminated account on my list of people I'm Subscribed to on CZcams, was yours. I honestly was kinda panicking when I noticed an account I'm Subbed to being terminated, but I couldn't figure it out who got terminated. I now think it was you, as that terminated channel is now not displayed as being terminated. Good to know you managed to recover your channel, not everyone has ties to people who can aid in rescuing your account from hackers
