YouTube account hacked

[Richard Allbert]

Hi all

My YouTube / Gmail was hacked, so I no longer have access to the Bluefever Software channel.

Just so you all know.

Yes, I'm annoyed.

Looks as though the Chess2U forum has been hacked as well.

Have you tried a Google account recovery (https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/7299973)? It might still be possible to get your content back.

Hi,

The site has not been hacked. I just don't have time for chess anymore.

I wish you good health.
Good day,
Ahmed.

LOGOUT.

Hi,

Thank you, yes, I tried that.

The problem was they replaced the linked email, created new backup keys and added hardware security authentication. They replaced all of the "backup" security options.

The result is I don't get through.

Anyway, I've been in touch with Google and maybe YouTube can help out. It's not the end of the world, it's just a bit annoying.

ok, it's back to normal.

The YouTube service is excellent, I have to say.

If you are not already doing this, think about buying something like a Yubikey and use it for 2FA (Two Factor Authentication) with your Google accounts. Many sites support these devices these days.

Today, no one serious uses 2FA. Because it can be easily hacked. Today U2F or FIDO is used.

You do realize that both (U2F or FIDO) are considered 2FA protocols right, and that some forms of 2FA are better than others (SMS being the worst).

IF So , then you should know that Yubikey has Multiprotocol support: YubiKey USB authenticator includes NFC and has multiprotocol support including FIDO2, FIDO U2F, Yubico OTP, OATH-TOTP, OATH-HOTP, Smart Card (PIV), OpenPGP, and Challenge-Response ability to give you strong hardware-based authentication .
