The LinusTechTips YouTube channel, along with several related channels, have been terminated after being hijacked by a cryptoscam.
Multiple YouTube channels under the Linus Media Group brand have been taken offline after being hijacked by crypto scammers. The main Linus Tech Tip YouTube channel, which has amassed over 15 million subscribers, is offline, as are the TechQuickie and TechLinked channels. It appears all three were impacted by the same hackers.
Related Videos Although the accounts have been suspended for the time being, the hackers also revealed several videos on the channel that had been set to Private, including approval video drafts for sponsors and test clips. It’s not clear when the account will be reinstated or how many videos will return, but LMG is aware of the situation.
These types of scams can spread quickly due to how they’re designed. If you’re subscribed to a channel, YouTube will notify you when the channel starts a livestream, unlike when the channel simply uploads a video. The scammers generally change the name and icon of the channel, and due to overtaking popular, Verified channels, display a badge indicating they’re a legitimate channel.
