My YouTube channel has been hacked.
This video is a cry for help to anyone who can help Ian Craig in trying to get his Google account and YouTube channel back after it was hacked earlier today Sunday 6th November 2022 by a fake YouTube account and user called Tesla Corp with an Elon Musk live stream video.
Ian Woke up on Sunday morning with no YouTube channel. His account had been hacked and his Google account deleted.
A few days before, YouTube sent him a Copyright notice. On the notice was a pdf which was supposed to be the report detailing the copyright problem. He clicked on the report since it must be safe if it's coming via YouTube Studio ....... WRONG. This file contained some code that sent off his account details to a hacker who promptly took over the channel by changing the email address on the account and removing the old one. The result was that Ian could no longer access the account which was also removed.
In place of Ian Craig Audio, Video, Reviews and Tips is a live broadcast which plays on a loop where Elon Musk is pushing Bitcoin info.
Result is no AVRT and all monetisation for the channel gone.
Ian's channel has now been taken over by someone calling themselves Tesla corp. and using a live stream video of Elon Musk talking about Bitcoin and Ethereum cryptocurrency and virtual currency. This hack is obviously not by Elon Musk or Tesla Corp. It's by someone pretending to be them and using an Elon Musk live stream on the channel.
As it stands, all of Ian's videos, numbering over 250, have all been deleted from his channel and replaced with this one live stream of Elon Musk and the channel has been re-named to Tesla corp. Ian is now no longer able to log into his Google account and therefore his YouTube account and is finding it almost impossible to directly contact Google to get his channel reinstated and his video content retrieved.
It looks like the hack has come from a PDF file that had a weblink in it. This email and PDF looked like it was an official one from Google/YouTube on the YouTube Studio app.
If any YouTubers out there can offer Ian any help or support, please contact him directly at the email at the start of this description.
