So glad that you got it resolved without major damage. I can imagine how that had to be frustrating and worrisome. You just can’t be careful enough these days, hackers are getting more and more sophisticated and trying from every angle. Glad that you’re back to normal! And thanks for sharing how it happened and how to resolve it.
Sorry to hear this happened to you, and thanks for sharing this. It's good to hear there is a course of action to actually take on this issue because yeah, dealing with RUclips can be very frustrating.
So glad you're back, my friend. And so sorry I couldn't help you when it happened. But remember ... even though you have your gmail back, the hackers were able to read and keep a copy of every one of your mails. So if anything personal is in them that could be used to hack other places, make sure yu lock those down as well.
Brother, I cannot even imagine. I empathize with all of it, and man... it's rough how far in we have fallen into the rabbit hole. Glad it came out well for you.
@@bradleyking4313, Me too. We were at a bad place. But thanks to some really good people at Google and RUclips , they helped me through it. Oh and a lot of prayer.
Wow so glad to see you got this mess squared away. I get flustered when I have a simple glitch on the computer. I would be flipping out with what happened to you an everything that went with it, Gmail, and omg what about banking!!! Anyway, glad to see all your work has survived. And what would it be like without " Gene - Gene the Woodworking Machine" All the best from the Northeast! " Be careful out there "
Firstly; I am so sorry! I have heard this happen to many RUclipsrs over the last few years. Good you are back and well! Looking forward to seeing more great DIy! Lastly, do what you love; That well melt away all that stress and anxiety!
Hello Gene, I am so sorry you had to experience something like this and "thank you and your son" for directions on how you handled this situation! Scumbags out there need to be dealt with and hope they do something. God bless and I will keep my eye out on your channel to spot any suspicious activity.
I changed my gmail password, started two step verification, change my google account password and signed out of everything. Resigned in with the new password. Thanks for posting this Gene.
OMG Gene, maybe that's why I don't get the notifications? Phew, soooo glad you got it resolved, I missed your videos. I have heard from other people that they got troubles/hacked after the 2 part password set up. (I always refused to do that) God bless you and your family, big welcome back hug from Belgium - Daniella.
@@DIYGene Gene, I would be scared out of my mind if that would happen to me. I would be trembling my socks off from fear, plus not being able to contact ytube or Gmail for help... I would not know what to do. Thank the Lord He heard your prayers. So good to see you back. Hugs, Daniella.
My Gmail got hacked last week but thankfully that was it. I started seeing all of these Activision emails and someone was playing Call of Duty under my email. Thought it was my 19 year old son but he has his own Gmail and doesn't play Call of Duty. So frustrating Glad you got back online as YOU!! .
Wow Gene, that stinks. So glad that you turned it around. Welcome back!
Thanks Deb, very scary time.

Hi Gene, it's just crazy to think how quickly these people took over your channel. Very happy that you were successful in recovering it! Take care.
I am just just glad to get it back. Thanks again.
There's been a couple of content creators I watch that this same thing has happened to. It sounds awful, glad you were able to recover your stuff!
I would not wish this on anyone. It is sad that there are bad people out there. Thanks for your comment.
I was looking for your channel and couldn’t find it. I figured you got hacked. So glad you were able to recover it. Happy to have you back buddy! 🎉
Thanks! it was a rough weekend.
I'm sorry you went through all that, welcome back!
Thank you! Its so good to be back.

Thanks Erik, I'm glad to be back.
Praise God, it worked out. 👍🙏
Absolutely brother. You guys be careful too.
I would have been so sad if you were gone. I really enjoy your stuff.
I was so blessed to get it all back.
Sorry this happened to you and your family
Thank you. I am glad to be back.
It's so frustrating! I have a Gmail account but I don't use it I run my business with AOL and have for over 27 years. Never been hacked
Maybe thats the way to go.
Glad it worked out!
Me too! It was really scary for a while.
God is good. We are so grateful. 🙏
The power of prayer works!
Amen!!
Damn.
I thought I was going to lose my mind.
OH MAN :(
Just glad to be back.
Honestly tho, you really should have a separate gmail/google account to use for stuff like your channel.
That's great advice for content creators!
OMGish that horrible!
Bless you heart ❤
That really is a great idea.
Hope you ran virus scan and got rid of that EXE file., or its gonna happen again.
Absolutely.
.exe is short for executable
