      If it's a livestream about something like cryptocurrency, then that means it's a hacker. You can't even interact because if subscriber-only mode in the chat. All you can do is comment on the channel's community posts and the original owner's social media posts and tell them that their channel has been hacked. These hackers are a sign of how far downhill RUclips's security has gone.

    It's a horrible thing to happen and has unfortunately happened to a lot of people recently. If it helps in any way, like someone has already said, the live stream numbers were most likely bots, something that I noticed during Sarah Close's hacked livestream. I wouldn't feel bad about being a victim of this as this has been going on for a few weeks now and has hit some of the more tech savvy youtubers as well.
    In regards to what you were saying about your other things like bank etc, as far as I am aware, the session exploit is something specific to Google/RUclips and your other accounts should all be safe :)
    You said about a security key, you can actually get something called a Yubikey or similar that requires you to have it physically plugged into your computer or using nfc on your phone etc to be able to log into your Google account, however, these things wouldn't have even prevented this exploit from happening and still have some flaws such as some websites allowing you to log in a different way (for example 2FA).

    In case somehow they deleted them, this Spanish youtuber actually got the videos deleted so he had to reupload them (he color coded them with a green emoji dot to signify that it's a reupload) so you could always do that as well.
    also, what "brand" was it? im curious if they're like, spoofing a real brand of something, or if it's just a made up brand entirely for the scam
