DidYouKnowGaming? Youtube Channel Hacked by "Ripple"

[SylverReZ]

I think paper money is bad because it seems to hold no inherent value other than what the “market” allows it to be.. like crypto.. so yeah… bad

On topic: Is this the same thing that affected LTT?

Yes. They would pose as if they were a sponsorship with a spoofed e-mail address to make the e-mail seem more legit, prompting you to download files that claim to be information about the so-called "sponsor deal". The malware, when ran, will grab what is called a "session token" from your browser and send it over to a server belonging to the hackers, from which they will virtualise your browser, bypass all 2-factor authentication methods and compromise your YouTube channel to stream those cryptocurrency live stream scams. The live streams in question, take you to a scam website of which they boldly claim to double your Bitcoin if you send an amount of money to their wallet address, but in return you get zero.

Can we just agree to ban Crypto already?

I concour. Literally nothing of note has come out of crypto other than the buzz around it and money laundering.

I've seen tons of scams around it, one famous example is "Save the Kids".

I think money in of itself is bad. So... everyone just give it to me. I'll dispose of it...

That's exactly the purpose of this hack - you're just being more upfront about it

Yeah, it’s amazing how they can just grab your session tokens.. Hope they fix that hole soon. Mistakes happen, and even the most attentive folk can still slip up. I just delete every email.

The malware used in these kind of attacks was the RedLine stealer. It comes as a kit that you can buy off the dark web. And no, I don't accept sponsorships or any e-mails that I receive from lonely asses.

Most of them come from the dark web. Damn spiders…

Whoever is attacking these channels deserve to end up in prison.

The crypto scammers are doing the same thing here, they too think that crypto is bad..

 

[Maximumbeans]

The fact that they hacked DYKG is annoying enough in itself, but what really boils my piss is the removal of all those videos.

The absolute fucking disrespect to wipe all that shit for a crypto scam and a video that didn't survive longer than an hour before YT shut it down. It's like painting over a mural with a QR code to your pyramid scheme, then the city council comes and removes it within the same day anyway.

What a gang of absolute fucking arseholes.

 

[HarveyHouston]

They're back online now. However, some of their oldest videos seem to be missing (unless I was wrong about the twelve years part).

EDIT: Yeah, I miscalculated.

Skeletor, save us from crypto!

lol

@cornerpath why have you done this!

Any chance YouTube has backups somewhere? I know that's a long shot, but come on we know they have server backups

 

[RichardTheKing]

This is why every important channel needs to have backups...it's possible that some videos may be lost for good, which would absolutely suck.

 

[HarveyHouston]

DYKG has recovered their channel and just recently uploaded a video explaining the hack. If you are unsubbed, please consider resubscribing, as they've taken extra precautions to keep this from happening again. This video has now been embedded into the head post.

 

[Viorlu]

Makes sense now, subscribing again!

XRP has to overtake bitcoin somehow..

 

[duwen]

Pretty much the same thing happened to this guy - far smaller channel than DYKG and LTT... but he goes into detail about what happened...
