Hey guys, on Wednesday, my account got hacked. I was in twitch streaming and someone came in using my twitch. My twitter, twtich and youtube have all been hacked. Youtube has deleted my channel or the hackers did.

Just letting you guys know.

If you haven't already try to get your account recovered https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/76187?hl=en if you can get it back you should be able to also bring back your channel.

Change all passwords that could possibly be connected to youtube, so all emails addresses especially if you have the same password for multiple accounts. Also try to figure out how they got access to the password, usually people gain access through phishing (get you to sign up to something and you have to enter your username and password). Could possibly be malware, if that's the case you will have to remove it from the computer before changing passwords or use another computer to do it. Although if the password was fairly simple it may have just been guessed.

Edit also this might help https://productforums.google.com/fo...tube/accounts-sign-in-and-sign-up/FHx2yGzNF0o
