My YouTube Channel was stolen

Did you use a nulled version of Vidiq?
Is your android device rooted?
Did you check pc for keylogger?

The only way for them to bypass the 2 step verification is if they hacked your phone and got the code there or they hacked into your pc with keylogger and used your cookies to bypass it.
 
I think that it could be made by the guys who know you in person.
 
Good question, I'm talking about wifi network. If you have your pc and android device for example connected on same wifi network its possible.
It is also possible to bypass though cookies.

In my case, I have my pc connected to home wifi network and my phone with auth's connected exclusive to mobile 4g data, excluding that way any possible connections.
If you want to go really hardcore on security, find everything that is connected at same time in your pc and phone and exclude all connections.
Thanks for the clarification. That makes more sense to me now. I'll be sure to log out of all devices for my channel and just log in to it via Google auth. That sounds like that should resolve the same connection issue.

Appreciate the time you took to provide the insight.
 
does your girlfriend hate you? she could be the one who "hacked" you
 
Hi guys I have a problem with my YouTube channel with 26k followers and 50 videos, someone hacked my Gmail account linked with my YouTube channel, I can't use my phone number for recovering my password because it was changed, I don't have any 8-digit code to backup, and it's impossible to me to do something. How they avoided the 2-step authentication? Do I have ways to resolve this problem? Thanks
You must have 2 Authentication if yes then recover using that

thats the new method used to steal channels.
you install some unknown program etc.

virus gets installed on your pc and your cookies(login sessions) gets stolen.
they can bypass 2FA due to this.

no, they don't need to steal cookies, because if that is the method (install unknown software for review etc)

they can directly operate from your pc, and that's how it's done

they can also work via cmd, but you know everything so no need to explain, you guru lmao

"but you know everything so no need to explain"

but you still tried to explain.
poor trash talker trying hard lol.
 
Only option you have now is to complain to Google and hope that they give your channel back.
 
Report to google as channel hacked, contact youtube via twitter they will assist you if you have added phone number and recovery emails before getting hacked sure you will get back your channel
