This happens a lot, but yes, it shouldn't happen to a "tech" channel.

Some months ago, it happened to the Corridor guys; they aren't a tech company, but rather CGI artists (they're the ones who analyze CGI, animation, and stunts in movies, and made that AI anime video that caused a shitstorm a few weeks ago), so they work with a lot of tech and should have security measures in place.
Of course, it happened with social engineering, which is to say, one of their employees was tricked by an email or something.
It's almost certainly what happened here, too.

As is the usual after these hacks, *everything* has been made public. I see way too many DONT USE and FOR BRAND REVIEW titles, it looks like they just shove everything up unlisted and never clean house.

EDIT: This might have been done by the hacker. All of these have the scam link in the description.

This shit is getting pretty tiresome. This is like what, the thousandth time some yourtuber gets their channel hacked by some crypto scammer? You'd think YouTube would develop some kind of contingency for when this kind of happens instead of having to get a bunch of people to scream at their twitter handle.

This.
I saw the same exact thing happen to Jim Browning's channel some time ago, and the guy is a hacker that goes after Indian scammers. Someone emailed him pretending to be a YouTube employee or something, and he just freely handed them his credentials and password. The fucking irony :story:

Edit: I misremembered. While Browning did indeed get baited, he was just convinced to delete his channel after someone pretending to a YouTube employee told him to, under the false pretense that his channel would be moved to another channel, or something like that. He didn't get phised by a cryptoscammer; I must have confused him with someone else. My bad.

I wonder if the way that linus handles the channel is giving out everyone the password, or not doing the channel permissions the correct way but knowing him, I bet is the first. There's a reason why big companies when dealing with youtube, let's everyone to only upload videos as private but only the managers can change it to public and change the channel data.

Meh, I'm just here for the shitshow; "what's linus gotta say about this!?", "How will he bounce back!?"
The only interesting thing about LTT happened today for the first time.

it's his repression seeping through, this is common for repressed gay men to marry women and have children.

I saw a smaller youtuber get hacked by the people pushing the same scam (tesla crypto shit) a few weeks ago. That time, it was a targeted email phishing op (review code/sponsorship for a game the guy has been looking forward to) that went for a week and the payload was a .pdf file.

Wait you can do that shit with a .pdf?
