Does floatplane do geo session lockouts? Because it would suck for it to happen on floatplane after this.
Was that through Adobe Documnets, upper echelon created a video about that.
Noice
Can you spell that code again? 😂 check out the last 10 sec of that video 😂
Tech tip: don’t get hacked
👎”Tech tips” actually offer helpful information.
This comment and upvotes will be your youtube legacy!
agreed.
@Alex Bold You brought up some good points, it does really trigger me when he breaks stuff on purpose, 😅
Man, my guy was so focused that he forgot to put clothes on. So much dedication to the channel. We would’ve felt the same, and were so glad you’re back.
@Mc_Lovin09 What is with the emojis?
really shows how scared he was at the moment, kinda crazy
It’s his entire livelihood, along with the livelihood of his employees. I would be panicking too.
focused on the money..
@The Big Bad Wolf I think he edited that part maybe 🤔😱😎😈😤😈😈😤🐓🍗🤔🐓🤔🐓🧑🏾🦲🤩😱
As someone in the cybersecurity industry, thanks for being so open about what happened, and bringing awareness to the technical elements involved. It CAN happen to anyone, what really matters is how you react.
It’s videos like this and the honesty and respect you guys show to everyone from sponsors and partners to fans and customers, that makes us all more than happy to support in any way we can. Glad everything for the most part is sorted out. P.s. Next time don’t blur out the birthday suit 😉 😂
I can totally imagine how much stress that must have been for you and your team. Glad that you got all of the channels back!
Take care everyone!
The accountability from the top down highlights what a great boss you are 👌🏻 glad you’re back up
Glad you got this sorted! You can actually disable all forms of two factor other than a security key by enrolling in the Advanced Protection Program. I’d highly recommend all YouTubers do so. There does need to be changes for this type of thing though. Even to start there could be more limited channel permissions, it would be a quick change but go a long way.

What…No..why are people listening to this xD it has nothing to do with this vid and its a very BAD idea..like wth
This wasnt a 2fa thing tho..
MFA wasn’t compromised though
@Entopisch Borrow practices from the military by limiting exposure as much as possible. Any devices that touches the account should be as secure as one can make it. There should also be as few as possible.
It’s incredibly mature of Linus to not put the blame on the guy who downloaded the file and instead on himself and the training of his employees. That’s an amazing boss right there.
Great attitude Linus. I’m 45, been in IT since I was a kid, quite literally, but left the industry in the past year. It’s a mess man. I’m glad that you have the right mindset, it’s a rarity, and if I had access to working at an org with a boss that understood what a weird fluctuating time we’re in, I might still be in IT. We’ve moved to so many service based things, it’s hard to be the engineer that comes in and fixes everything, because you don’t have access because it’s a service, or the way stuff is supposed to “just work” between services, it’s all just service coordination not engineering these days. Anyhow, /end rant
