It looks like LTT's main channel has been compromised.

And now that the main channel is down they have moved on to Techquickie. edit: and TechLinked

Oof, there is gonna be a hell of a WAN show

I was thinking the same thing. Gonna be fun to hear about this on tomorrow’s WAN. Also, how is it even possible for something like this to happen is beyond me.

I wonder if they had SMS 2fa?
manuelmoreale
I remember them talking at some point about having dedicated devices used for authentication but only saying that because they moved away from doing it. So I suspect they’re doing something different.

Account has now been terminated, I imagine that's a temporary measure to lock it down the easiest way possible.
manuelmoreale
Yeah I can’t imagine a channel that big with direct contact with YT getting actually terminated.

One would think that they should be savy enough to not fall into whatever trap they fell.

I am really curious to know how has happened, if they ever reveal it.
