Is nothing sacred?

Well if you're going to hack an account to get a lot of people to see your content, it's better for the hacker to do so to an account with a large audience.

Question is HOW? Some articles mentioned it's due to hackers sending malware that steals browser cookies, but you'd think the linus team isn't naive enough to run software emailed to them by some questionable source.

I love their channels. It's informative and funny.

I didn't subscribe any YT channel, however.

Just wonder how did it happen? 🙄

 

[mxnerd]

The channels are back. Linus explained it thoroughly.

Session token was stolen.

Stupid Colton. I LOL'd about him trying to open the "PDF" then when it didn't, shrugging and derping off. Access levels were too high anyways.

Are all the videos gone?
