#188 - I Got Hacked (And This Is What Happened)
From The Peanut Butter and Mountains Podcast · 00:18:02
Show by Chad Lubinski
I discovered my YouTube channel had been hijacked during a Sunday around 12:30, renamed “Ripple Foundation,” and used to run a Brad Garlinghouse/Ripple crypto livestream with a QR code asking viewers for money, even though I’ve never talked about crypto. The hack started after I communicated with what I thought was BetterHelp about a sponsorship and clicked a link to “Impact Radius” to share analytics by logging in with Google/YouTube; soon after, I was locked out of Gmail and everything tied to “Sign in with Google.” After noticing the channel takeover, I tweeted @TeamYouTube, used YouTube’s hacking/chatbot report flow, and submitted forms while fearing termination. The channel was eventually terminated for guidelines, then restored after I reset Google security, re-did 2FA/recovery options, and worked through YouTube support, getting everything back in about three days and sharing lessons to prevent phishing and secure accounts.📲 MY SOCIALS📸 Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/chadahooche_/📸 TikTok → https://www.tiktok.com/@chadahooche_?lang=en🎙️ Podcast → https://open.spotify.com/show/4uqC8SiipEHirRPPOACQCX━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⛰️ MY COMPLETE OUTDOOR GEAR LIST → https://app.rockporch.com/prflink/chadahooche_━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
