dude
that's a really really good deepfake
Leg, don't remove that stream
that's actually really good
it's not a SpaceX launch, but I think people are so trained that all launches are SpaceX
that today's the perfect day to do fake channel takeover scame
152k
it's a channel takeover
same thing happened to Linus Tech Tips
and other huge channels
I think almost all of them are browser session hijacks of the YouTuber's computer
they get account credentials
and then go through, purge access and channels, upload fake backgrounds, rename the channel, and start a Musk-themed livestream
they work too, people are idiots
ELI5: when you log-in to a website, your browser creates a "session" so it's able to auto-login if you leave the site and come back later
bank websites don't do it, on purpose
no, not Youtube, whoever's channel this is
probably some game Let's Player
oh mb
yeah probably, something like that
someone last year got got by a minecraft mod
that someone in their community server sent them on Discord
idk, lots of ways, they basically only need user-level access to your computer, to clone browser tokens
Ruhi Çenet's channel
he's a travel vlogger
did you play Phijkchu Quest?
idk, I've not played it either
so, not a game
but a demo during the last Next Fest
was a confirmed crypto miner
guys had a genuinely real game, but ig decided they could make more crypto mining than finishing and selling it
wait lol, it's still up
I wonder if they claimed their demo got hacked or something?
idk how Valve let them stay on the store
ahahahaha
I had to roll back and hear the reason
ill post in a sec
clip is overly long, ~10 seconds in
they attribute it to the engineering team
I've not heard anything on my end yet
Anyways, I am glad they cancelled it
I thought I explained it pretty well
after all, I was Nervous about the #Starliner launch, a lot seems to have gone wrong in the last week, but NASA, ULA, and Boeing seem determined to make their launch window tonight.
