1:36 a physical key still wont help in this type of attack, they steal your cookies so they can log into your accounts bypassing the 2fa and password. Basically if you have any remember me and other websites you don't need to type a password to log into they can use those cookies to log into your account. you probably got infected by clicking a link and downloading something. Someone probably pretending to be a sponsor and when you opened the download nothing happened. only real way to stop these attacks in the future is to not have anything on the computer you open and download stuff on and use an email only for that purpose or have virtual machines.

I highly recommend getting yubikeys and locking your KZfaq account down with them, if you set up your Google account right there's no way someone can get into the account without one of the keys, a password manager like bitwarden that can also be locked down with the same yubikey can make hacking attempts on your accounts damn near impossible by using very long random passwords in conjunction with the yubikey

@austintaylor5683 4 ай бұрын

Hey Rick I’m a dev, don’t know if you will see this but I would recommend using a password vault manager. Something like keeper or last pass. Make sure you use their recommended password and just save it in the record. Don’t ever save any passwords to chrome. Their password manager sucks and is very easy to decrypt. Also, use unique passwords for everything never copy and paste from other passwords and then finally use 2FA or MFA whenever possible. You can do additional things to help secure your home and store network but I won’t get into all of that, just letting you know. Super sorry this happened.

This is a very scary situation, but I've seen it so many times before, and in every case, their channels have been restored eventually, I really hope the same is the case with you! I know it's scary to see people unsubscribe so rapidly and the lost revenue isn't good either but I really think things will work out in the long run! I am so sorry that this happened to begin with

sometimes i have to unsub from a channel i dont even know why im subscribed too. they were probably hacked, and never got their channels back. I always wonder what the channel was before, cuz there is no way id stay subbed to what they become.. usually just dead channels with no content and a changed name.

Assuming that its the same type of phishing that others have gotten hit with, its an email posing as a sponsor offer that has some sort of malware which copies the KZfaq/Google cookies from the victim's computer to the host. On Google's end, it as if Rick was doing this all from his own computer.

They can then use your 2fa text to login to things if they have your passwords and stuff. I would check with your phone carrier!!

@ALTHiR 3 ай бұрын

Physical 2FA keys wont most likely help. Once you open the wrong file, you send your browser data for them, meaning KZfaq thinks its you and that grants them access. Best way to not get hacked this way is to open email attachments with Sandboxie or Windows Sandbox.
