Creating YouTube videos has evolved from a trend into a necessity, especially for Gen-Z, who increasingly use videos as a way to express themselves and gain quick popularity. However, what happens if a YouTube account gets hacked? Fortunately, those affected can now turn to YouTube’s AI-based Hacked Channel Assistant available through the YouTube Help Center.
This tool guides users through a series of straightforward questions to help them secure their accounts. Afterward, it suggests additional security measures, such as enabling multi-factor authentication, to protect against future breaches.
Currently, this recovery tool is available only in English, but YouTube plans to expand its support to 13 other widely spoken languages by early next year.
As a part of Alphabet Inc., Google has consistently prioritized user security and continues to develop tools to help safeguard accounts. With the rise in social media hacking, YouTube’s account recovery process aims to simplify the restoration of compromised accounts for content creators.
In related news, Cristiano Ronaldo’s official YouTube channel, which garnered 1 million subscribers within 90 minutes of its launch and 10 million within 10 hours, has recently been targeted by hackers. These impersonators are deceiving fans by promoting cryptocurrency scams. To avoid falling victim, ensure you’re following the authentic UR Cristiano channel, which boasts over 28 million subscribers. This channel achieved remarkable milestones, receiving the Gold Play Button within 90 minutes and the Diamond Play Button within 8 hours of its debut. Despite these achievements, Ronaldo still has a way to go to catch up to MrBeast, who holds the top spot with over 331 million subscribers. However, Ronaldo’s global fanbase suggests he could reach this milestone within a month or so.
For reference, Ronaldo has an impressive social media presence with over 636 million followers on Instagram, 171 million on Facebook, and 112.3 million on X (formerly Twitter).
