Your YouTube channel was hacked and terminated.

A common pattern: a session-cookie hack, a rename to a crypto brand, a live scam, then termination.

Updated 13 November 2026

First recover and secure the Google Account, then appeal the termination saying the channel was hijacked, with dates. YouTube has a dedicated hacked channel process and has reinstated hijacked channels. Act fast and include proof such as Google security alerts and the rename.

Account first

Recover the Google Account.

Proof

Security alerts and rename dates.

Then appeal

Say it was hijacked.

Steps

Recover the Google Account through Google’s recovery flow.
Change the password, sign out all other sessions, and review recovery options.
Turn on 2-Step Verification with a passkey or app.
Use the hacked channel help page and appeal the termination, stating the takeover dates.
Remove any unknown channel managers or brand account owners.

How these hacks happen

Most start with a fake sponsorship email that delivers malware, which steals browser session cookies. That lets the attacker skip your password and 2-Step Verification. Never open “sponsor” attachments or run downloaded files.
