I got hacked a couple years ago, probably the worst day of my life but thankfully RUclips support was able to help. Really hope they find a way to stop this from happening, it's been an issue for years now
I really appreciate all of your help connecting me with RUclips Support and directing me to get guidance from Retro Rick! Stay safe and awesome Nintendo Fans and Collectors
Glad everything was fixed. You got me into collecting around 3 years ago and in a video you said to ask family for consoles or gaming things they don’t use. Well my Uncle gave me a NES and my grandpa gave a CRT TV, that we’re judging sitting collecting dust. So glad you were able to get your channel back because it has been very inspirational.
I was so sad to see your channel got hacked. You just came back. The cover up panel looks cool. Too the untrained eye it looks like a part of the design. What did the plumber think of the room? Anyways im glad you got the channel back and cant wait for the room tour. Your place looks so awesome
Great question - the plumber was blown away but he's seen some pretty amazing collections before from Comics to Bands and more. He loved it though. Really nice guy.
Man, that leak sucks too. I know all about that lately. The dormer on the house is leaking badly, and I'm waiting for it to be fixed. Luckily, it's not in my collection room. Glad you got everything up and running with your youtube channel again, would have been a huge shame to lose everything.
I'm so glad that you got your channel back and that you didn't lose many subscribers! I think after some other recent hackings such as Retro Rick, people are able to identify what is happening and just wait for the creator and RUclips to resolve it. I can imagine how stressful the situation along with the leak must have been, but at least you made it out to the other side; can't wait to see more content from you!
Just yesterday I thought about checking out your channel again, and then today I woke up to a notification about this video, glad you got it back! I've been watching you for around 10 years now, would've been sad to see your channel gone
Glad you fixed the leak with minimal damage. Glad you got your channel back too. I've been a fan of your channel for many years and it would have been a shame to lose all those fantastic videos. Glad you got them back so we can all enjoy watching them once again!
Glad nothing got damaged. The setup you have is really amazing! You've filled every inch of that place- wait, you're Canadian, you filled every millimeter of that place!
It's absolutely horrible when this happens! I remember when Retro Rick had this issue too. Good thing you got it back. Can I just say that I love the way you spend every single piece of wall space for stuff
I'm very glad you got your channel back, and that leak in your sealing was able to get fixed. I know that it was a very stressful week. Very glad that everything worked out for you.
Oh my goodness, I’m so glad you got this resolved quickly! I remember seeing the hack. I watched the unboxing of the Nintendo World Championships when it dropped and shortly after, saw the livestream. I clicked on it and instantly knew something was wrong. By the time I rushed to your Twitter page, I saw all the tags to RUclips support. What a horrible experience. Sorry you had to go through that. Keep making great content!
I never subscribed although I've watched your tour a few times and enjoy having it on in the background as I'm multitasking. I subscribed now though just to help get ya back to where you should be. Good luck on all the recovery man. You seem like a good dude and tasteful collector with great attention to detail, so happy to support as well as I can!
Another RUclipsr I watch in the fishing industry had this same thing happen due to the same camera company offering email. He had 2FA enabled and everything. He also had the same emails in the same order you mentioned where everything was being changed. Glad you got your channel back!
Hey Lithium, I'm glad to see that your in full control of your channel again, it must have been nerve racking with the process of getting your RUclips channel back along with your sink leaking, it must have been quite a week but hopefully your through the worst of it. I look forward to seeing the Summer Room Tour and what you've collected during your short absence on RUclips, glad to have you back!
I made a suggestion that you talk about this on Twitter. Not sure if I was the main influence (probably not lol) but it still made me so happy to see this I'm glad your channels back. I have so many memories watching you as a kid. I've even done Mariothons with my friends because of you!!!
Nah unfortunately haven't streamed much. I've sorta documented times and stuff. I love streaming but my friends aren't too big on it and I respect that
I'm so happy your channel is okay again! Yeah I remember when Retro Ricks channel got hacked 2 times. Some rough times with the leak aswell in Game room. Hang in there. I'm a long time subscriber so always happy to see you back!
@@NintendoCollecting my Retro Gameroom took so much inspiration from yours. I have all my amiibos on the shelves near the ceiling kind of how you put your Jax and World of Nintendo figures. You and Retro Rick and a few others are the ones that inspired me to start a channel! Thank you!
I’m so sorry that happened to you man. I’m glad you got your channel back and I’m sorry about the leak. I can’t wait to see more videos from you. I’ve been watching your content since 2016 and I hope you don’t have anything like this happen again.
So happy to see you back. That's terrible what you had to go through with the hack and the leak. I'm glad you were able to get through this, cause like you said, you don't know what you have till it's gone.
I've been watching you for so long my life is entirely different than when I discovered the channel! Your videos have always provided a sense of comfort and joy I was searching for and I really appreciate all the updates over the years. Words cannot describe how thankful I am you got your account back, it would've sucked to lose so much history. I love putting on your unboxings when I need to wind down or a pick-me-up. Can't wait to see what you post in the future (even if things slow down a bit) 😃
I usually don't unsubscribe when a channel I'm subbed to end up being hacked. Also, it's great that you got your channel back. My old Discord account I had since 2017 got hacked on March 17, 2024 when a user I was friends under had their account hacked and I felt for it. I did end up creating a new account and I've learned my lesson.
So glad you're back! I've been following your channel for ages, I even just recently did my own Mariothon inspired by you :) Super happy that all is good!
I recommend installing leak detection monitoring systems for your plumbing, it can be cheap, also make sure your foundation is good, usually weather destroys the foundation due to bad drainage.
I am so glad you were able to get your channel back. I literally panicked when I saw that bitcoin stream and thought about Retro Rick and I thought, oh no they got Lithium!!! I’m glad it’s back! I’m also glad the leak was taken care of. We just had Hurricane Debby come through and had quite a bit of flooding where I am.
Your Nintendo Cave is awesome! Curious, was the plumbers name Mario!😂 You have a great wife to allow you to do this! Sorry to hear you got hacked. Unfortunately there are evil ppl that try to take advantage of ppl, even on a slight mistake. Lessons to be learned, don’t click on attachments in an email, unless you 100% sure who it’s from. Always backup stuff because you never know when you will need it(although in this case you were fortunate and need to go through that process).
A larger YTer that I watched, Billiam, got hacked a while ago. (Like a year or two?) He thankfully got his channel back soon afterwards. He does videos on old stuff from the 2000's.
Hello Nintendo Collecting, it’s been a while since I watched some of your videos, but when I saw the subtitle. I was worried. I am glad that everything worked out in the end. I really wish hackers would stop doing that. But that’s just wishful thinking. I also thought that the hackers leaked future video ideas when it was just a water leak. A misunderstanding on my part. But anyways, glad that you got your channel back and that the pesky leak was fixed. Looking forward to future room tours. Hopefully this doesn’t happen to you and your wife in the future. Keep posting good videos. Take care.
You being hacked is heartbreaking and I'm happy that you have your wonderful channel back. I have heard that the livestream of bitcoin or whatever and channel name and channel profile picture this has been a common issue and I have seen many youTubers complain for a long time now. This year I heard a few RUclipsrs talk about this happening and they are channel of many things some are not even gaming related. In the past I had to change my information due to weird stuff like weirdo videos being on my watch later , email notices and other weird uncomfortable stuff like email related conversations so weird stuff going on. I was worried that you might have moved on and I wish you the best in the future and this won't happen again. Cool video. ^_^
Any god you've been through a truckload of stress all at once. My life is currently in a culdesac of hard times as well so props to you soldiering on. God bless you
Linus Tech Tips/Media Group was one of the more prolific RUclipsrs that fell victim to this kind of social engineering a year or two (?) ago. I believe their video about the aftermath should still be up featuring bearded Linus. ... Is it wrong that my reaction to seeing the crypto livestreams pop-up was to shrug and think "Ah, cookies got stolen/phished. That sucks, hopefully he gets his channel back soon."? It _is_ such a common occurrence now that it's uncanny.
So happy you are back cause I was worried and know you were hack and I unsubscribe but then I found out your channel was back I did re subscribe back to the channel ❤
How about putting one of those battery (9v) powered moisture sensors to either on top of your new panel or below the kitchen isle? Just my idea to save your awesome collection in the future.
GameXplain had almost the exact same thing happen. The video about the situation is called "We're Back After Being Hacked! Here's How to Avoid the Same Mistake"
Will we be seeing an unboxing video for the new Hyrule Edition Switch Lite and Echoes of Wisdom soon? I miss your regular uploads. Hope everything is well with you. 🙏
Glad you got your channel back. Do you have any tips for other RUclipsrs to prevent this from happening? Or stuff we should have on hand in case it does?
Have a separate business email for RUclips, set up all the backups you can, including backing your channel up on a USB. Don't click on links or files you don't trust too. Hope this helps!
so you had a plumber in your nintendo room. that's kinda funny.
I never thought of it that way...ha! Should have called Luigi
@@NintendoCollectingyes, Mario and Luigi could be good plumbers lol
Oh, no!!
@@nathendo145Too bad they’re in Japan! We must use our imaginations to make Mario and Luigi come to America and come to life!
I got hacked a couple years ago, probably the worst day of my life but thankfully RUclips support was able to help. Really hope they find a way to stop this from happening, it's been an issue for years now
I really appreciate it man - I've also been watching you for years (let me know if you ever want to collab)
@@NintendoCollecting That would be amazing if you guys did
@@NathanielBandy bro I think I have someone who can help you out
I remember that. I was legit so confused the day it happened lol
@@SigmaohsjjIt was two years ago. He already got his channel back.
I really appreciate all of your help connecting me with RUclips Support and directing me to get guidance from Retro Rick! Stay safe and awesome Nintendo Fans and Collectors
Te recomiendo ver la experiencia de Japan gemu que le paso lo mismo.
@@NintendoCollecting Can’t wait for the 2024 Room Tour this Autumn or this Holiday!😊
Glad everything was fixed. You got me into collecting around 3 years ago and in a video you said to ask family for consoles or gaming things they don’t use. Well my Uncle gave me a NES and my grandpa gave a CRT TV, that we’re judging sitting collecting dust. So glad you were able to get your channel back because it has been very inspirational.
On the access panel, put a water detector on it. It will beep if it leaks again.
Great idea! Thank you
So sorry that happened, my channel was never hacked, but i am still sorry, you are my favourite channel!
So glad you’re safe and sound now, hopefully this will start up more videos to come in the future!
My hope is to post weekly again
Having all of this happen in a week must've been stressful. I'm glad that everything working out though

Very dangerous what one link can do. Be careful everyone. Glad to have you back!
dude you got super lucky on both nightmares! the access panel was a great idea for sure
so sorry all this happened to you... on another note, the ceiling looks pretty cool with the panel! looks like it was supposed to be there!
Glad you fixed the leak with minimal damage. Glad you got your channel back too. I've been a fan of your channel for many years and it would have been a shame to lose all those fantastic videos. Glad you got them back so we can all enjoy watching them once again!
I appreciate that!
Glad nothing got damaged. The setup you have is really amazing! You've filled every inch of that place- wait, you're Canadian, you filled every millimeter of that place!
welcome back ^^
it's good to see new videos from you.
I hope that everything is ok with your family.
Good to have you back!
Adding a warp pipe sticker on your panel would be great and symbolic as well
I like this idea and I already have a giant warp pipe - let me see what I can do
Glad you got your channel back. Ive been a viewer for 11 of those years.
Wow that's a long time I appreciate you!
It's absolutely horrible when this happens! I remember when Retro Rick had this issue too. Good thing you got it back.
Can I just say that I love the way you spend every single piece of wall space for stuff
It's definitely getting very full now. Not much room but I try to optimize every space
I'm very glad you got your channel back, and that leak in your sealing was able to get fixed. I know that it was a very stressful week. Very glad that everything worked out for you.
Glad you Got your channel and stuff back, big fan.

I made a suggestion that you talk about this on Twitter. Not sure if I was the main influence (probably not lol) but it still made me so happy to see this
I'm glad your channels back. I have so many memories watching you as a kid. I've even done Mariothons with my friends because of you!!!
Love it! Have you streamed the recent Mariothons or just enjoyed the company in person? And I appreciate the help!
Nah unfortunately haven't streamed much. I've sorta documented times and stuff.
I love streaming but my friends aren't too big on it and I respect that
Great to hear everything is ok now! Excited to see what you have to show us this summer!

Didn't realize how big your game room is
Huge changes to the room! I love it!
Glad to see you got the channel back bro👍 Can't wait for the next room tour👍
it took me 3 days to get the notification this was uploaded. glad it was all sorted.
Im glad you got your channel back, you should do a recent pick-ups video if possible
Was wondering who was hacked on my feed! Sucks that it happened to ya. Hope to see more videos soon!
Happy to see your channel is safe!
Thank you!
I’m still waiting for the room tour but I know it takes time to make it as good as possible also glad you’re doing well and welcome back
Great that you got things back to the way they were 👍
And I think that the Mario theme there at the ceiling fits there very well 😃
All the best dude 🤗

There needs to be a better way to prevent that. Like a notification to RUclips support when 6 things for a channel get changed all at once

2 years ago Nathaniel Bandy got hacked from the same hacker source but he got back
Thank God you got your channel back
Oh goodness I hope everything is ok.
Nice collection room I love it
Welcome back!
Good to see you back man
Meghan Rienks' story of being hacked is wild and probably why the process is much easier now.
What an amazing collection!!!❤😮
Thank you!!

So many famous RUclipsrs got hacked as well
Bro your collection is sick 🔥 🔥 🔥 🎉🎉🎉
I was so confused when I was subbed to a crypto channel 😭
Im so sorry that you got hacked btw.
Do you dust the toys hanging near the ceiling?
Yes but I need to do that again - thanks for the reminder! 😂
Hello Dan!
Summer Vacation of course wow but getting hacked and a leak is extremely bad
Yeah not good timing but it's always bad
Going to need a new room update. What is going to happen with the next console 😬. Everything in that room will need to change
I have a plan to expand the Switch to 2 shelves and add another shelf for the new system.
Man you know that plumber added a zero to his bill after seeing the Nintendo room
his name was luigi
Will we be seeing an unboxing video for the new Hyrule Edition Switch Lite and Echoes of Wisdom soon? I miss your regular uploads. Hope everything is well with you. 🙏
RUclips should take hackers to court
Adam Koralik got hacked by the same people, he did a video talking about it.
