Yeah, there's been a bit of an offensive recently by such individuals. Probably getting cocky after Trump won, tbh. YT did a good job. It shows they're ready and on top of things when it comes to this crap.

Finally. Get rid of all the space x shit and you're back.

A couple of the top of my head that should of been on for me are Rocket Raid & Boffin

Vandalisation Google should back these things

No video backups ?

Welcome back stun runner!

So glad you are over the worst. Would be nice to eventually find out how they got access. Keep fighting!

It’s so pathetic that a Musk “bro” would pick a channel like this to hack, simply to put up dumb fake SpaceX videos. What a moron. These people need to get a reality check. Musk is not your friend.

Update: After further communication with Google they were able to restore ALL the missing content including videos and comments!

That sucks but i am glad your back. Wish you luck getting the channel back to normal

So glad to see you got back control! I hate that they deleted content - you've made a ton of very interesting videos over the years and I feel sorry for the people who can't see them for the first time.

Backups are key, and KZbin have restored bigger channels than yours with little or no loss, so keep pestering. Another thing to highlight, why in hells name are vast changes like that STILL able to be done without authenticating a confirmed device and 2FA? Slackware security on Google’s part there and was an issue highlighted by Linus Tech Tips when they were hijacked around 18 months or so ago (look those videos up and reach out to them for more info)

I'm so relieved for you Kieren. It must have been so worrying. Glad it's all sorted out and keep up the awesome work!

Glad you're able to get the account back! It really sucks when you try to do everything right and someone still manages to pull a stunt like this. It's been awhile back on a different account, but one time I got a notification from Google that someone in California was trying to access my account and they'd blocked it. Unless the asshat managed to guess your region and spoof GPS/location, I'm not sure how they'd got around that. And yes, that is possible if someone specifically targets you. Why _you_ of all channels? Just for the shits and giggles? Who knows...

Came here for more SpaceX info... What's up??? Where is it!!! ... Kidding!!! Glad you are back. What a mess...

Its a close one but I will go with Sega

Easy win for Amstrad

Sorry to hear your troubles with KZbin. They have been censoring the comments sections as well.

Happy to learn that everything worked out and you're finally back. Your content is always something I enjoy, so please please please keep up the good work! Cheers!

Glad you are back. That process sounds incredibly frustrating and needlessly tedious, but I'm glad you prevailed in getting your channel back. Sending love from the states.

Welcome back Stun Runner

You have a great channel with great old PC & obscure consoles... One of the best in KZbin. You deserve a lot more recognition, your content is very interesting & the information is very detailed in the veins of someone like the gaming historian... Hope you recover everything and your channel grows a lot more in the future

Several of the YT channels I follow have recently been hacked and they have no idea how. Is there a Google venerability?

I have always enjoyed your channel, this is just unbelievable that someone actually got some sort of sick enjoyment by causing you misery, I am happy that your back.

Bad news, glad you're back. As for cyber security, 1. use a password manager, use different passwords on every account, make them long randomized strings of letters upper/lower case, numbers and symbols. 2. enable 2FA/MFA anywhere its offered...usually this will be 6-digit one-time passkeys (OTP) added into Google Authenticator app on your phone, away from the device you're logging into...and enable fingerprint unlock on the phone ...2FA should make it virtually impossible to steal your accounts unless they physically hunt you down, steal your phone and take a finger to unlock it with 😅

Glad to hear this has all worked out for you.

You mean Space X didn't actually build and launch a Turmoil rocket to save us from an invasion? I did actually get to see your 4 play video.

glad you got it back, love a good morning obscure gaming fact video and yea knoticed sub count is lower then the other week, this really sucks but you will get it back!

Glad you got the channel back always love your videos.

Glad it was all sorted!

As I suspected, you got hacked!!! (That's why I mentioned in the previous video you posted, the computer ports of "Turmoil", that your channel might had a... turmoil!) Oh my, what a concerning situation... Glad to see you're back to the game here! Wishing you strength and all the best for the new journey here!

glad you ok bro...Dont ever change your intro bro, I have been jamming out to that Goldrunner intro since you were at 1k <3

I'm so sorry. I'm glad you were able to get your channel back. I hate that these people get away with this. There's never any consequences as they will just continue to do it to other people and never get caught. Bizarre that they changed it to SpaceX though as usually they change the channels to cryptocurrency scam stuff. This sort of thing is my worst nightmare. It's so messed up that all of the security features didn't protect you. I'm glad you were able to get it back.

There's some real asshats out there.

I had wondered why there was such a pause in your otherwise regular upload schedule, but at least that's now over with!

Never played on one, but some of these games look cool, especially Turbo Outrun!

I remember getting these books from the library too, but was annoyed they didn't work with my Amstrad.

So glad you're back! What a relief! Anyway, Atari 8-bit deffo wins this one.

Yes! You're back!!! 🎉❤🎉❤
