    Maybe he's diversifying his interests into crypto like Seatin did.

    I'm now thinking maybe this is an accidental premiere vs what you suggest. I'd expect him to give some pretext before switching topics so suddenly on his videos.

    I think he's on the forum but probably won't see this post. Hopefully someone in CCP can check with him.

    Yes he has, Cat Murdock has confirmed in discord he is working on getting it back.

    Damn - thought so. It was either hacked or an accidental use of hs acocutn by a household member.
    Nah these are quite common hackers on youtube, if a channel you know goes into full bitcoin/crypto without warning then they got hacked.
    OK - first I've seen it on any channel I'm subbed to, but *hacker* was my first impression.

    Damn all of lags recovery stuff was changed by them to lock him out completely, I hope Youtube steps up and helps ASAP.

    That's not good. Hackers suck.

    That's what hackers do to promote bitcoin
    I seen it numerous times with YouTubers all over the world

    I was so confused when I saw an upcoming bitcoin livestream. I went straight to the forums to see if he was hacked. It's really sad that people do this.

    The video the hackers are pushing on Lags account are all from an account called
    "MicroStrategy".

    Clicking on one of the promoted videos and reading the comments and from what I've seen it shows MicroStrategy is not the original name of the account and it was first a geometry dash channel called Nexus before Nexus got hacked.

    Who hacked the original Nexus account and turned it into a bitcoin account? Not sure but a comment said it was orchestrated by the king of Yemen, again don't know if that's true so take that with a grain of salt.


    Those comments are about 8months old so if they're the same hackers it's very possible Lags won't be able to recover his account given how Nexus got overrun and hasn't been able to recover theirs (although idk if they tried as hard as Lags is)

    Very unfortunate situation and I'm sadly not surprised it's crypto people doing it, they're some of the jammiest people on the internet

    ugh that's awful

    Nexus was able to recover his channel with the help of Youtube. It may take some time but Youtube should be able to assist Lagacy in getting his account back.

    So how he got hacked?
    Clicked on some links?
    Or he just went to sleep and woke up to this?

    I did a quick Google search and saw that Nexus got his channel back within 3 days, and you can find the channel rn when searching for it. Hopefully Lags will be fine.

    My guess, he probably clicked on a link and they gained access to his Google account and locked him out.

    How it's even possible that a single touch turns into this big disaster.
    A click shouldn't give away whole password and gmail accounts,
    Google need to encrypt more.

    You would think two factor authentication would be the safety mechanism to stop such things… (assuming it was in use). If one click is bypassing that, that’s certainly troubling
