<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=ry8oY1-aiq8">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=ry8oY1-aiq8</a> Here is the video summarizing what happened.<p>Hacker posed as a potential sponsor and sent the YouTuber files including a weaponized .src file (I think he meant .scr file) disguised as a pdf.<p>Once executed it, it didn&#x27;t appear to do anything but in the background it shared the YouTuber&#x27;s cookies&#x2F;session data with the hacker. With access they changed 2fa and changed his channel to a Tesla channel. He lost over 1000 subscribers and it took him a day or so to get his channel back.
