It's crazy that Youtube is aware of this and have done nothing to fix it, the live stream is still going by the way.

Those Youtube Premium bucks at work. :)

It's just a youtube channel that reports on Nintendo news with quick videos everyday. That's how I keep track of when new spirits drop in Smash >_>

I didn't look at it, but what's the stream even talking about? How do they go on for over 3 hours about Bitcoin lol

Basically they are trying to scam people with that QR Code at the bottom. Saying that people should go there and deposit their bitcoin to get double their investment back. It's basically just repeating that in slightly different ways over and over and hyping up how big of an opportunity it is and that it will only work during the live broadcast.

Looks like it finally got taken down though. It just ended as I was listening to it for this post lol.

Edit: Nvm, the livestream ended, but the video and the channel are still there. Hopefully Gamexplain gets control back soon

Stealing someones session token allows you to bypass password and any 2FA. This sort of attack has been hitting several big youtube channels over the last year or so.

This video explains how this happens to big channels.

It's worth a watch but tl;dr - hackers exploit session tokens allowing them to bypass 2FA as the user is already logged in at that point.

Deleting all videos on the channels you hack will paint a bigger target on your back, and Youtube will be forced to react quicker and bigger.
