UPDATE (April 29th 2023): As of April 29th, DidYouKnowGaming? has managed to recover it's channel, but even so, the channel may change again. If there are any further news, I'll update this article.
UPDATE (May 2nd 2023): DidYouKnowGaming? has posted a video on their recovered flagship channel, explaining the situation.
The original article is left below for context.
*****
The popular Youtube channel DidYouKnowGaming? was recently hacked and rebranded as the cryptocurrency company "Ripple", to post what apparently was a video on their official channel (the reposted video has now been taken down by Youtube). The hacker (or hackers) managed to take over the account and remove every video on the channel, erasing approximately ten years worth of videos.
As of this writing, no other channels maintained by NormalBoots (including the secondary channel DYKG Clips) have been affected. This is not the first time a Youtube video channel has been hacked to display cryptocurrency scams, as one month earlier, Linus Tech Tips was hacked for the very same reason.
Youtube is currently working with the team at DidYouKnowGaming? to recover the lost videos. In the meantime, several backups exist on other Youtube channels and on Internet Archive.
