A little problem

Thanks to YouTube Partners, this has been resolved and my channel is back in action.

My Youtube channel DrawStuffRealEasy has been hijacked!

I got a security email from Google to warn me of suspicious behaviour but I was already locked out.

Within three minutes they had removed all my fingerprint and 2 factor security, changed codes, phone numbers and emails. The account is now run from a Russian email address.

Google are trying to help me get it back but everything they tell me to do seems to send new codes to my gmail address that the hackers have control over!

This is going to be a bit of a hassle!

    Hi Shoo
    That is awful! I hope that Google can help you sort asap!
    In the meantime I hope that you have a lovely Christmas despite this.

    Oh that is a huge bother, sorry to hear that Shoo. Thanks for letting everyone know what’s going on prior to any hi-jinx they may get up to.
    I hope you’re having a lovely holiday!
