Scam involving YouTube channel theft, Russian website, legendary audio engineer
- hunter2_ 5y agoI always see such a lively discussion whenever the topic of audio comes up, that perhaps some of you are familiar with legendary live sound engineer Dave Rat [0]. His Youtube channel [1] was created in October 2006, not long after Youtube itself was launched, so a huge portion of the industry is familiar with his excellent videos. Today the channel got stolen for the purpose of driving traffic to a scam website [2] that promises to double your money instantly, using the familiarity of Elon Musk and Ark Invest to feign legitimacy. I linked this post to the reddit discussion rather than the channel/video/scam itself, as it will be the most persistent in case Youtube support rolls things back, which is obviously the goal. What are the chances of this getting resolved?

- hunter2_ 5y agoShoot, now the account has been terminated. My previous comment that control had been regained was likely a DIY effort (i.e. the attacker didn't prevent a password reset flow or anything) judging by a post [0] suggesting same.
