Who is Lordsi? 💪
●▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬●
Welcome to The Lordsi Youtube Channel, My Names Lordsi (Simon Hall), im a passionate Content creator and streamer. I make all types of content from reactions, funyn videos, vlogs, skits, gaming and so much more. Hello and welcome to my channel. The last 24 hours have been a nightmare. Just last week, I watched Linus Tech Tips talk about his channel being hacked, and I remember thinking, "If they can be hacked, then no one is safe." A week later, on my 2-week anniversary of quitting vaping, the exact same hack happened to me.

Let me explain what happened. The hackers gained access to my Google account, changed my password, my secondary email and recovery phone number, and even my name, logo, and banner to Tesla. They then proceeded to stream Elon Musk talking about AI with a scam QR code and view bot and like bot the stream. They changed my name and logo again to OpenAI (chatGPT) and streamed the same crypto scam. And to top it all off, they got my channel deleted.

How did this happen? I received a sponsorship offer from a company via Twitter. It was a $200 sponsorship for 30 ad placements in an upcoming video, promoting a course that offered my viewers the first course for free. I have a lot of fail safes to determine if a company is legitimate or not, but this one slipped through. I downloaded a zip file containing 2 videos, instructions, notes, and a PDF file. The PDF file was actually a screensaver file, and after I double-clicked it, it deleted itself. I spent the next hour trying to figure out what was happening, but it was too late. The hackers had already gained access to my Chrome session and cloned it.

Thankfully, I was able to resolve the issue quickly. I reached out to the YouTube live chat, and they were very cooperative and willing to help. I put out a tweet, and less than an hour later, Team YouTube responded. After a few DMs, I was allowed to fill out a form via my second channel email address, and six hours later, they confirmed that my account had been hijacked. I had to send them some emails to verify that I was the rightful owner, but eventually, I got my Google account and YouTube channel back.

While it was partly my own fault for not taking extra security measures on downloaded files, Google's lack of logging into anything or text message verification made the situation worse. However, the Team YouTube and YouTube support team were very communicative, helpful, and supportive throughout this whole thing. They responded quickly, understood the issue, and did everything they could to help.

Overall, I am just happy that I got my channel back, but it's scary to think about how new this form of Trojan is and how none of my antivirus or malware software were able to pick it up. Shoutout to Norton Security for being the only company to detect it. I hope this serves as a warning to other YouTubers to take extra precautions and not trust any unsolicited emails or files. youtube channel hacked,hacked,youtube hacked,youtube channel hacked and deleted,youtubers hacked,i got hacked,hijacked,my youtube channel got hacked and deleted,my youtube channel got hijacked channel got hacked,youtube channel deleted,tesla hack,openai hack,tesla youtube,tesla youtube hack,openai youtube hack,how to avoid getting hacked,how to avoid your youtube getting hacked,how to contact youtube,how i got hacked,my youtube got hacked,youtube,tesla,openai
