Lagacy's youtube hacked?

His channel is premiering something on bitcoin...

Comments

Guy that hacked his account is probably a huge Silk fan
I don't think Lagacy hates Silk, she just thinks she's overrated (which I disagree with). But to hate a champ is not the same as overrating a champ

Lagacy is a She? Mind blowing news 😱

Lol whoops. I meant he

I was wondering why I kept getting emails about my channel subscription being paused, then resumed, then paused again. I wasn’t able to find his Instagram account. Hopefully he can get it back.

Now his channel is completely gone. Before it disappeared I unsubscribed and then re subscribed when I realized it was lagacy. At first I though it was a random joke he was doing.

Poor guy, hope everything is okay, must be stressful. Can only imagine how he’s feeling rn.

Yes, it's totally hidden now so hopefully that means he is on the way to getting it fully back under his control.

Buttehrs

he’s back guys, his channel is back up in his name
Just check and it's now running Space X vids.

At least that's enjoyable compared to bitcoin nonsense.

Hope he recover his Channel

Best Mcoc Youtubers are RichtheMan, Lagacy, MSD, Brian Grant and Prof. Hoff
Seatin, Vega, @Karatemike415 , Nagase as well

Ahh thanks for these 4.

I forgot to say best Mcoc Youtubers that I watch.

I will look at these ones 👍

Well he's back guys, but the channel is still, something's not right

That’s how it was several days ago before it disappeared a second time. His videos were still there under videos tab at least.

I noticed the channel came back up as well.
I wonder if he finally got control of it and now he can delete those weird videos and upload his own now, or if it's the same deal as when it went back up a few days ago but the idiot hackers still had control..

No live stream so probably just haven’t wake up yet to edit all this out

My understanding is Lagacy is making slow progress in bringing his channel back. I think he now has full control of his accounts at least. It is possible his channel appeal went through and the channel is visible again, but there would still be tons of work involved in cleaning it up.

No doubt he will make a video letting us know he's back for sure once he can.
I can't even imagine the work it will take to get it back to normal now, having to delete the videos the hackers posted, make sure everything is 1000000% secure and such as well.
Maybe he's having a rest now that he finally can, knowing he finally has it back.
Must have been a stressful week from hell for him!

Definitely also scary.

Lagacy’s story is his to tell, but I will say that whenever these kinds of hacks occur, in my experience the channel itself is the least of your problems. Expect Lagacy to take time to rebuild his electronic life cleanly.

Yeah, who knows what else the hackers did

I appreciate what insight you could give, I have no idea what happens when something like that is hacked, but I would imagine by your comment that it becomes more than just the channel itself, which I didn't think of.

I'm gonna go ahead and assume it's also personal emails and other types of things associated with the channel, which would make it 10 times more of a nightmare.

TLDW: fraudulent mail pretending to be YouTube.

So the security basics:

1. Protect everything with 2FA. Especially anything related to your email accounts. So much of people’s electronic life is tied to email, including the ability to get into everything else.

2. 2FA will protect you from everyone except one person: you. The attack against Lagacy is what is commonly referred to as a social engineering attack. Social engineering attacks attempt to trick people into doing bad things rather than attempting to subvert the technology. In this case, it was a forged email directing Lagacy to (ultimately) click on links. A link can do anything, and it is you doing it. Attackers don’t need to log into your accounts if you’re the one doing things. In this case, the attacker probably used disguised links to add themselves to the security options for logging into Google, and once logged in they could lock the original account holder out.

This sounds paranoid, but you cannot trust anything on the internet. In particular, you cannot trust emails. It doesn’t matter what the mail looks like. It doesn’t matter who it claims to be from. Addresses in email are like addresses on a physical envelope you get in the mail. Anyone can write anything on that. And anyone can put anything in the From: line on email messages. A technically savvy person can attempt to analyze message headers, but for all practical purposes this is beyond the reasonable possibility of normal people.

If someone asks you to click this or go here or do anything in an email message, you have to verify that request. You can’t reply to the email. You have to be able to determine if that request is reasonable without that email. If it is supposedly from a friend, message them to verify. If it is supposedly from a reputable company, reach out to them yourself (again: you cannot reply to the email to do this) to verify. Presume everything is an attack until you can somehow verify otherwise.

Lagacy is not the first nor the last to get hit by this sort of attack. It can happen to anyone. I’ve seen it happen to professionals working in companies that got hit for six figure losses and more. I’ve seen actual security professionals get hit: all it takes is to let your guard down once. I’m not specifically dunking on Lagacy here. It is important to assume anyone can be a target for this sort of attack, including yourself, and to take all necessary measures to avoid being the next person bitten by it.

Hopefully Lagacy sees this message, we must prevent another similar event from happening.

MrSakuragi

Is yours cached maybe? It’s looked like this for me since he got his account back and he uploaded a new video 6 hours ago.
