DidYouKnowGaming? Youtube Channel Hacked by "Ripple"

Someone more infosec savvy than me will probably know: how is this happening despite things like 2FA? Isn't 2FA basically unbreakable as long as you control who has the necessary info?

Can we just agree to ban Crypto already?

Yeah (and fast)

Crypto ain't worth it. Use real money as everywhere uses it.

Other people have responded to this much better than I can. Also some of the affected channels posted videos on what happened. 2FA is only security for logging in initially. What these turds are doing are using malware to highjack a session token. Session tokens allow your device to stay logged in for a period of time. Especially when you do more than stay on one page. Such as logging into youtube and clicking on a couple of videos. Every time you click on a video you are going to a different web page. Without session tokens you would have to log in every time you click on a different page within one website. They basically steal that and now the website thinks that the attacker is legitimately logged in and they really are.
