Linus Gabriel Sebastian & Linus Media Group / Linus Tech Tips - Narcissistic corporate shill YouTuber driving his media empire into the ground. KILL COUNT: 2

[The Cunting Death]

Appears as though we've got a little channel hack going on at the moment. Crypto-related "livestream" featuring Elon, Jack, and two others I cannot identify. The pinned message in the live chat says you should go to https://tesla-online.net/ for more information. It's currently 3:25am in Vancouver. Wonder how long this takes to get fixed?

Update: a second stream had started, both of which are now down. The fake Tesla site is gone too.

Another update: all but a dozen of Linus' videos are set to unlisted. Crypto streams are back up.

HAHAHAHA HOW THE FUCK IS GETTING HACKED

when the database gets cherry popped

 

[WeWuzFinns]

All of this could have been avoided if he was Linux Tech tips instead of Windows Tech tips

 

[Breadbassket]

This hack is wild but what I am amazed by is the fact they bothered to post private unpublished videos on the channel in the first place.

 

[Cold Root Beer]

Wait you can do that shit with a .pdf?

Honestly, it doesn't work as an attack vector unless you download the virus file and open it on the same device you use for 2FA. So some retard at the company who had the 2FA authenticator installed on their phone downloaded and opened the virus on their phone. Ironic for a channel all about PCs that they were compromised by being MOBILE FAGGOTS

 

[Glass House]

A popular anti scammer YouTube channel also had this happen to him. This video here explains how it happens.

It's not the a typical hack, but a flaw in how Google allows accounts to be shared.

This is all I see when I search for LTT. How much damage has this done? What even is the hard R incident? Why is Penguinz0 still relevant? Tune in next time on, Tales of Interest!

Linus was in a podcast and said something that goes like "its crazy how much the language people use has changed in the last 20 years, people used to use the r-word all the time". The podcast host starts freaking out then Linus clarifies that he meant retard and not the other one.

How the fuck does that happen to a "Tech Youtuber"?

He's a goony bugman who makes snarky videos, not an infosec professional.

 

[Duraznito]

This is how much Pajeet made with the LTT main channel until it got shoa'd







And this is how much he made with the Techquickie channel so far:

No, it was dumber than that. Linus insisted that "hard R", ie nigger instead of nigga, used to be common, including that he did it himself all the time. It took a few seconds of Luke looking horrified before they realised Linus thought hard R meant retard.

THE SIRS REDEEMED

That's a good hustle, I have a lot of respect for that.

Luke freaked out because Linus called it the "hard R" and casually said that he used to say it too and had no idea it was wrong. Which does sound really bad when you don't know the dumbass actually means "retard" and not "nigger".
E: ninja'd

>Promotes race mixing
>Gets fucked by Pajeet

Love to see it.

 

[Kikemaster]

Did anyone archive the privated videos that were made public? Willing to bet there's some major hidden L's there.


Also it goes without saying, but
lol, lmao even

 

[The Bovinian Derivative]

If this was a mom an pop cocking channel

a mom and pop what?

 

[Daddy's Little Kitten]

There's some irony here somewhere.

 

[xXx: State of the Union]

I laughed when this happened to cokeman2423

I can barely breathe seeing this happen to Linus

 

[12345]

To all the people asking how this can happen to a tech channel, here is a pretty good video about it:

 

[Maverick Vile]

Lol, I love it when someone who's supposed to be good with computers falls for a basic crypto scam.

 

[Blue Miaplacidus]

Wait you can do that shit with a .pdf?

Yes.

 

[Jex]

Happened to a fire emblem channel that I watch recently, he made a nice video going over what happened. Basically they trick them into clicking a .pdf.exe on google docs, but you don't see the .exe until you click it.
