Finally made an account after months and months of creeping around… I was so sad to see your channel go, chris. This Forum has helped me and entertained me more than almost anything else out there for the past 4 months or so. I hope you can recover it without any hiccups, Chris!

@hawaiibadboy Were you using the built in Chrome password manager? If you were I’d recommend using Bitwarden, its a freemium and open source password manager. Let the app generate a random 20+ digit password and save it for you. I’d also recommend the google authenticator app for 2fa. Don’t bother with SMS or Email for 2fa.
When both of those are setup, its much much harder for someone to log in.
Source: I work in tech and our CTO is hard in to requiring all employees use this to log in to our website admin back end. People try and hack us and do phishing emails all the time but with the use of Google Authenticator app they can’t get in even if they have our log in info.

Good to see things are getting sorted out Chris.
In browser settings it’s good to clear data when the browser is closed. This will remove cookies and also any session data, this will go some way to preventing the session being hijacked. If you login to any account and then visit a nefarious site it will still be able to happen but if you close down the browser being going to anything potentially bad then this can help.
Although determining what is bad vs good can be difficult.
hope you’re able to recover your OG channel bruv.

1 of the 2 hacked mails recovered.
Mail linked to Youtube is back in my hands
Channel not yet restored but the associated account has to be returned and secured before proceeding
So 1/2 way there.

Never unsubscribed bro, I believed that you will get the channel back. Happy to see it was done so quickly by G/YT - fair play to them.

Are you gonna review your GL1200?
Great news man! Hoping you can get your other account with personal stuff soon. It’s also great to see a good ending, and YouTube actually helping one of it’s creators.
Cheers!
