the fact that YouTube hasn't had anyone step in (except to change channel metadata, which the "hackers" have played into with their new stream titles) and the streams are still ongoing shows that their response times for account compromise are terrible

they could have just not allowed a huge verified channel to be able to have their username/display name changed so freely, they could have caught out "Tesla" as a name commonly used in scams, they could have someone at Google's moderation team who can freeze the channel's activity (considering a channel with a recent strike can't stream at all, this should be *trivial*)

@ipg Google needs to get serious about protecting their 2FA

@ipg 1. YouTube support is kinda useless for a multi billion dollar company, this is not the first time this hack happened, and it's not even a different video

2. Yeap, Elon Musk and Jack Dorsey, the faces of crypto scams.

@ipg looks like the hackers deleted all the videos too. The only ones I see on the channel are 7 years old.

@ipg It's ridiculous how often this scam happens. YouTube makes too much money to care though, it doesn't affect their revenue at all so they're not concerned with enforcing their terms of service or protecting users.

@ipg the mods YouTube employs run these scams. That’s how they get fiddle with permissions to take over channels that did have good security.

@ipg Looks like Google have handled it in their own special way.

Getting hacked is against community guidelines? Seems quite harsh... 😆

@ipg I noticed this earlier! The hackers unlisted/unprivated a lot of videos before completely nuking the channel, which was incredibly odd. Only have this one screen shot.
