We Got Hacked... Here's the Update
Added 2024-05-13 22:28:47 +0000 UTCTerrible, treacherous, overwhelming, horrific, nightmarish, draining, disheartening, 30+ hours. But I'm hopeful! Here's everything that happened and what you need to know about the channels going forward.
I love you guys with all my heart. I think we're going to be ok.
Much love,
Alex

Do you have a tv and a phone? I have a smart TV, but I know it’s doable with TVs that have a Firestick/Roku/Apple thing to use whichever streaming service on your TV, if you don’t have a Smart TV. I just watch my favorite reactors on my phone, then play whatever we’re watching on the respective streaming service that movie/show is on ! Just a suggestion, hope that helps in some way! ☺️

2024-05-17 04:37:05 +0000 UTCDUDE I feel so bad for you. I don't do watch alongs, I just don't think I have the set up. But I subbed here because I wanted to keep up with you and what was going on. You're honestly one of my favorite people to follow you're so hilarious! Keep your head up, don't panic. You got this!! One step at a time and these hackers I swear each of us will kick them in their gooch with a spiked boot when we find them!

2024-05-16 17:03:47 +0000 UTCThe tv and movie vault channel just went live with some bitcoin nonsense again. Is there hope of getting that channel back? If so I’ll stay subbed.

2024-05-15 21:18:13 +0000 UTCThe only thing I wish to get from Alex is to see him watch movies like HOT SHOTS, Robin Hood: Man in thighs etc. :D the golden era of parodies :D if he can provide this to me I will support him for the rest of my life :D

Alex
2024-05-14 16:47:05 +0000 UTCDamn, I never knew that’s how those type of hacks happen. I’ve seen a few channels have it happen. I’m glad that you are slowly getting the channel back, alway here to support you. Hackers are scum and deserve to burn
Michael Governor

Michael Hodgkinson
2024-05-14 02:11:38 +0000 UTCHope all gets figured out and you can get the channel/s back! I’m sure that anyone and everyone here will help you, if there’s anything you need!
Purple Cowboy
2024-05-14 01:26:23 +0000 UTCThis is a really good idea! I think we should keep posting that in the comments to reach those that may miss the original post as I’m sure many more posts are to come. Maybe it’ll help with subscriber retention?

2024-05-13 23:51:43 +0000 UTCI just went over to ur YouTube channel and told people who commented that u got hacked in ur Falling In Reverse vid that u we’re sorry that this ha and to please do not scan any we codes that it’s not you. And u will be back soon. And please do not unsubscribe. Hopefully people will be patient and realize it does them no Garth just wait and let us work this out. No need to rush to judgement that u were doing shady and unsubscribe. This completely sucks.

2024-05-13 23:05:21 +0000 UTCOh man, so sorry all this happened Alex. Glad you have a great spouse to help support you through this stressful situation. I just want to say as someone who is actively trying to retrain his CPTSD brain to be more positive with himself, your attitude about whether you lose the channel or not is incredibly mature, positive, and refreshing. Hope you get to keep your channel and we'll be here either way—we aren't going anywhere.

2024-05-13 23:02:29 +0000 UTCBest of luck I hope you can get it back… you help a lot of people with your videos and your an awesome person fingers crossed good luck!
Lilo
2024-05-13 23:01:02 +0000 UTCThat sounds exactly like what Corridor Crew experienced with their channel! A bitcoin video was playing for a live stream with them also. I know it sucks right now, but keep your head up and it’ll all work out!
DragonQueen
2024-05-13 22:56:28 +0000 UTCDude! Glad you didn’t loose content. I saw a notification of the livestream and tuned in. I figured you might talk about legal shit. When I saw people I didn’t know I figured I read shit wrong and it wasn’t you at all.
Brian Stanaland
2024-05-13 22:45:58 +0000 UTCAh love yaboiroshi, that did happen to them so I’m optimistic for you. Super sorry this happened.. scary reality..
Peter Moe
2024-05-13 22:45:22 +0000 UTCBless u Alex, it’s a scary situation, my insta was hacked a few months ago (I’m aware it’s not the same thing as I’m not a YouTuber or have thousands of follwers 🤣) but I completely understand the fear. You feel violated! Horrible feeling. Mine was all restored and I’m sure yours will too ☺️. Don’t worry about the subscribers too you will 100% get them back and even more!
TeamRocketTom
2024-05-13 22:45:10 +0000 UTCOh man so sorry to hear that. You most likely will get your channels back, but even so just dealing with days of this sort of thing is exhausting and soul crushing but hang in there - it'll work out and we're all rooting and praying for you and your family. Try and make sure you eat enough and sleep enough even though you probably don't feel like doing either - you wouldn't want to get sick and get a gooch infection. Cheers bud.

2024-05-13 22:44:42 +0000 UTCGlad it seems you’re getting your channel back but we would have followed you to the new one. Sorry for all the stress, hope you have a better week

2024-05-13 22:43:38 +0000 UTCmuch love to you Alex. praying for you both for a quick recovery from this
FistMeDaddy
2024-05-13 22:43:15 +0000 UTCThey’ll fine their way back!! Ya may have to do a little grunt work but it’s way better than staring from scratch!! I have a Shopify and it pisses me off that people use shit like that to hurt others. It makes it harder for us legit e-commerce to run our websites. I get bs emails every day from scammers over there and all I’m trying to do is make a living with my small business. Hackers are infuriating but I’m so glad you’ll be back!!! I assume you’ve got all your yt content backed up?

2024-05-13 22:43:12 +0000 UTCso sorry brotha, just had to download patreon and subscribe just for an update, hope you get it back soon🙏

2024-05-13 22:42:37 +0000 UTCI'm so glad it is getting worked out. I've been hacked and identity stolen, years ago. It was absolutely insane stress. I was keeping up on your discord since I don't do X, but now I must go find your Instagram. We love you lots!!
PepperJelly
2024-05-13 22:40:17 +0000 UTCSounds like the same thing that happened to Linus Tech Tips. Someone opened a sketchy file, their computer got infected, and they got access to all of their accounts by hijacking that persons browser session...which was still logged into many accounts (cookies, site tokens etc.). Their channel started going live with the same bitcoin live stream. LTT posted a video on how it happened, I highly recommend everyone watches it. Educates on how this stuff happens (at least this specific method).
