My YouTube Channel Was Hijacked… How I Got It Back & How to Protect Yours

My YouTube Channel Was Hijacked… How I Got It Back & How to Protect Yours Today I’m finally sitting down to talk about exactly what happened when my YouTube channel was hijacked. I’m going to go through everything bit by bit — how it started, how my channel was taken down, what was happening behind the scenes while I was trying to recover it, and how I eventually managed to get it back. I’ll also be talking about the mistakes that allowed it to happen, the warning signs I completely missed, and the methods the hackers used, because since recovering my channel they have continued trying to target me in different ways. Honestly, this was one of the most stressful things I’ve dealt with online, and I know a lot of creators think it will never happen to them… until it does. So in this video I want to share not only my experience, but also practical things you can do right now to better protect your own YouTube channel, email accounts, and social media before something like this happens to you. Hopefully this video helps someone avoid going through what I went through. #YouTubeHack #ChannelHijacked #IWasHacked #YouTubeSecurity #CreatorSafety Makeup I’m wearing in this video: ⭐️Delilah Wake Up | Radiant Hydrating Skin & Make-up Mist GIFTED 22% off with HANBEAUTY22 US https://collabs.shop/p8ggvx UK https://collabs.shop/c3qzzz ⭐️Delilah Wake Up | Radiant Eye Perfector GIFTED US https://collabs.shop/vkwb8f UK https://collabs.shop/55adqb ⭐️Delilah Lip Saviour | Colour Enhancing Lip Oil GIFTED US https://collabs.shop/psxpn6 UK https://collabs.shop/hygcag ⭐️Delilah Wake Up| Secret Skin Smoother US https://go.shopmy.us/p-51648722 UK https://go.shopmy.us/p-50098251 22% off with HANBEAUTY22 ⭐️Lancôme TIU Wear - Stick Foundation 100 Ivoire UK https://go.shopmy.us/p-56094695 ⭐️Chanel LES BEIGES SERUM CONCEALER NATURAL HEALTHY GLOW https://go.shopmy.us/p-53428165 ⭐️Inglot face palette customised: https://go.magik.ly/ml/3q7n3/ HD Highlighter 154 Soft champagne highlight (neutral, not overly gold) — £18.00 HD Sculpting Powder 504 Cool-toned contour, true taupe shadow — £18.00 Mattifying Pressed Powder 304 Matte smoothing powder, controls shine — £20.00 Radiant Skin Face Blush 27 Bright cool pink — £15.00 Radiant Skin Face Blush 28 Muted cool rose — £15.00 ⭐️Charlotte Tilbury Exagger-Eyes Sticks, Astral Topaz, Ballet Quartz, Mink Sculpt https://go.shopmy.us/p-56364485 15% off with code: CT-SOCTU2T0LS3 ⭐️New Chanel Rouge Coco lip in 120 Gabrielle US https://go.shopmy.us/p-45767879 UK https://rstyle.me/+vpzTlrJVdQdrdgbpIbsCX My nails Glamnetic SHINE FOR YOU Get 15% off with HANBEAUTY Uk https://go.shopmy.us/p-56790089 US https://go.shopmy.us/p-56790646 Buying affiliate links & Discounts: My Brushes: ⭐️BK Beauty: https://go.shopmy.us/p-29845673 ⭐️Rephr: 15% off with HANNAH15 https://go.shopmy.us/p-40486650 ⭐️Victoria Beckham https://go.shopmy.us/p-29844878 ⭐️Makeup by Mario F1 & F4 UShttps://go.shopmy.us/p-29845034 UK https://go.shopmy.us/p-29845150 Makeup: ⭐️Bare Minerals, you get 15% off with HANBEAUTY101 Shop here https://www.bareminerals.co.uk/HANBEA... ⭐️Chanel: https://go.shopmy.us/p-29844537 ⭐️Charlotte Tilbury.
