My YouTube channel almost got hacked by a sponsor!

My YouTube channel was almost taken over by a hacker who approached me as a vpn company with a sponsorship proposal.

This was a very well executed social engineering attack, but I was glad that I didn't fall for it, and nothing bad happened.
But if this were to happen to a non-technical creator (or any technically illiterate person in general), they would've probably fallen for it.

I've heard news that several YouTube accounts are already being hacked recently, I guess these were all a team of scammers who are targeting creators and taking over their youtube accounts.

If you're a youtube creator too, please be aware of such scams!

Share this video with as many people as you can to spread a word about this.

If you want to see all the powershill script and other code that this malware contained, you can check out my blog post where everything is explained even more clearly : http://bit.ly/2OMYKRg
