A well-known YouTube personality, DidYouKnowGaming, recently reported a hack on his channel in which an anonymous party used his account to promote XRP cryptocurrency scams. While such attacks on YouTube channels for promoting scams is not new, the number of creators on the platform reporting hacks has increased. The victim, DidYouKnowGaming, has recovered his channel with the help of YouTube’s quick intervention.
