[Bishop]

Three days ago according to reddit the account was hijacked to stream some bitcoin scam and was promptly shutdown by Youtube admin.

That's not cool.
He's got a good channel. Must be more than a lot frustrating for him.

I have seen this happen to a few channels I follow from time to time, somebody needs to put those bitcoin scammers out of business once and for all, trouble is they feed on idiots and there are plenty who fall for the scams.

I think MCQ has started a new channel. About his new 80 metre Super yacht.

Happens every time I do a search for Endicotts.
I forget and click on, then remember and have to go through to the site another way. Well annoying.

Like the You Tube bushcraft guy, brilliant at what they know, but maybe not so good at the web security aspect?

I don't know, sounds like he had a resonably robust security measures in place; not sure what more he could do to protect himself really (apart from not using the YouTube platform)
