Madrid, (EFE).- The Ibai Llanos YouTube channel has returned to normal after it suffered a cyberattack yesterday. The “streamer” has explained today in a new video what happened and has attributed the “hacking” to “some Greeks” who were trying to scam bitcoins.
The attackers made it appear that the Llanos channel was that of Tesla, a company owned by Elon Musk, and clicked on a video of him during a presentation of his Cybertruck truck.
Llanos explained that yesterday morning he saw that he had lost access to his channel, with 10.5 million followers, and how it later changed its appearance to resemble that of Tesla and the video of Musk, also owner of Twitter, began.
The objective of the “hackers” was to “try to scam people” for which, through the comment window, they included internet addresses that led to a deception with cryptocurrencies.
Finally, the editor in charge of the Llanos account was able to stop the video, which was active “very little, about ten minutes”, and from that moment the channel appeared empty, but not because they had deleted its content, but because they had put it on private access, he recounted.
Llanos has highlighted that, from the outset, he reported the cyberattack on all his networks to alert his followers and contacted YouTube, both to stop the scam attempt and to recover the channel.
