He lost 16.4M subscribers from 1 stupid mistake
One of the biggest channels got hacked.
Here’s what I learned from it…
When you ask Team YT for help,
They need your channel ID (NOT your handle).
And if you ever get hacked,
YouTube is likely your only way back.
So please:
1️⃣ Go to YT Studio
2️⃣ Find your Channel ID
3️⃣ Save it somewhere safe (NOT just Google Drive)
I use a Google Sheet and a backup outside my account.
Because if your Gmail is hacked… so is your Drive. 😅
But how did that 16.4M channel actually get hacked?
