Right now, I'm working with Google to get it back. I was afraid I'd lose my email account but they helped me get that back. I've got so much important stuff in there - very scary!
My YouTube channel now says it's terminated. However, I think they will restore it for me. It may take a day or two. In the meantime, I'll await the next steps with trepidation. I can not sleep well - I'm up in the middle of the night right now, which is good because Google contacted me while I was asleep.
This happened because the hijackers tricked me. I will tell the full story later. I did not expect anyone could trick me this way because I'm very careful online. Yet they did. A big lesson learned for me.

Well, I got it all back the next day. I was up until 5am... but later in the day, Google restored my access and control over my YouTube channel.
Funny thing is that I ran an 8km race the day after I was up all night... and I had the best/fastest race of the season!

Good news, Robert - that is pure relief. And you successfully converted your high adrenaline levels into leg speed 👍.
Could you tell us a bit more about how your account was hacked and where the weak points were?

Holy David Lee Roth, seems you didn't know it but maybe you were "running with the Devil"
