Hackers have recently struck several times
Who else took it? The HandOfBlood hack isn’t the first in recent weeks. Almost a month ago, the YouTube channel “BullshitTV” was hit. This was renamed “Tesla” at the time (via income).
Also, a few days ago, Jean Pierre Kraemer / JP Performace from Dortmund (via www.ruhrnachrichten.de). Jean Pierre Kraemer is known as a tuner and former member of the TV series “The PS Profis”. His YouTube channel has 2.28 million subscribers.
Overall, the start of 2023 is looking pretty tough for many YouTubers. While HandOfBlood and JP fight for their channel, others have struggled with the platform’s new monetization policies and have feared for their earnings ever since.
