No phishing

Has your channel been phished? The Hijacked Accounts webform is here:

The problem of phishing continues unabated, not just on YouTube.

Golden rule: No YouTube employee will ever ask for your password under any circumstances. If anyone says they're from YouTube and ask for your password, they're lying.

YouTube Doesnt need to ask you for your password because they already know it.

Please put CC And transcribe audio.

@AskMusicGuru Actually, if YouTube works the same way as other sites, they don't even know your password. They can access your account using their own special admin passwords and whatever.

CCs are available for this video in English and in German.

This group of hackers called MHO (Mysterious Hacking Organization) specialize in phishing. They are a big problem to my friends and I. Can anyone tell me how to get rid of these phishers?

[rewboss]

@YirbyBond00Y Just do not give anyone your password. The only time you need to enter your Google password anywhere at all is when you sign into your Google account. You do not need it for anything else at all, no matter how "official" it looks. Stick to that one simple rule and you'll be safe.

If you've already been phished, use the hijacked account webform to report it. I've put a link in the video description.

Everyone who is new to the Internet needs to see this video. Hilarious take on what is, sadly, an all too common problem.

account hacking sucks.

You know, I was hacked and it was a lesson learned. I was torn because I had a 2-views-away-from-viral-video! D: I cried and pizza took my mind off. I'm just a girl who wants to have fun, sing, and YouTube all the time. Hackers SUCK!!! I had over 250 videos of having fun, swimming, and much more. If you can, please hit thumbs up so everyone can see this. + Thumbs up if you've been hacked or have a friend who has been hacked.

@lakerskid2013 OK, I've understand. :)

This is a quite awesome video, very well made.

I hate how Phishers use to call themselves 'Hackers'...
