@signalspikedev Yeah, appreciate it dude. Was trying to De-google my life before this...but if anything this has really taught me to not just take security more seriously, but also to never have a single account like this with so much in it again. Sheets, docs, calendar, partner emails, YT, etc.

It's been 12 days since I was hacked and banned. 10+ years, 930 + videos, millions of viewers. Gone. Overnight.

Support is responding 1 time every 24 hours, and they are continually asking the same information over and over.

Its wild. It's insane. Trying not to lose hope.

[Tim Ruswick @TimRuswick]

@TimNHG just gone. over night. and lost in an endless sea of support emails where they ask the same questions they already asked over and over.

Next game: SupportPhobia: The fear of support emails.

@h7software All of Google on general

Day 7 of my YouTube channel hacked. Still deleted. So I Made a game about it.

All you can do is frantically change your password, or send a support email with a 24 hour cooldown.

[Tim Ruswick @TimRuswick]

@truger44 Yes, I have 4 support tickets. They responded once every 24 hours. That's what this game is about 🤣

[Tim Ruswick @TimRuswick]

@TimNHG 💔

[Tim Ruswick @TimRuswick]

Day 5, still nothing. Appreciate all the support.

[Tim Ruswick @TimRuswick]

@crierlon I get 1 reply every 24 hours. And the last reply was "please wait 72 hours".

[Tim Ruswick @TimRuswick]

@MustafaSabrPath Really sorry about this man. Still trying to figure it out.

[Tim Ruswick @TimRuswick]

@eric81766 I mean the first parts true, it just doesn't have updated info on the resurgence that started last year.

Second part about X is just a hallucination I think.

[Tim Ruswick @TimRuswick]

@louiidev I knowww. I had such momentum. Even if I get my channel back, 3 days of zero watch time man....might kill the whole thing.

[Tim Ruswick @TimRuswick]

@riverforgegames Appreciate this.

[Tim Ruswick @TimRuswick]

@signalspikedev Appreciate this man.

[Tim Ruswick @TimRuswick]

Another 24 hours, YouTube channel still gone. Still don't have access to the account.

Not mad at anyone at YouTube, I know they're doing the best they can. Im just incredibly frustrated and sad 💔

Starting to look at Plan Bs.

[Tim Ruswick @TimRuswick]

@JonasTyroller Will never stop me lol, too much of a loudmouth. But appreciate the support, I hope i get it back too, but idk 24 hours so far and it feels like forever.

[Tim Ruswick @TimRuswick]

Update: YouTube channel still gone. Don't hav compromised email back yet.
Got a notification that it got locked, but that was like 12 hours to do some damage.
Still don't know what the extent of it is, and probably will be dealing with the ramifications of it for years tbh.

@the_stonesetter You can find me at:

But it's all shortform, YouTube was my only longform.

[Tim Ruswick @TimRuswick]

@Jess_StPierre @GutzyAiden This didn't seem targeted to me. It seemed like a broad shotgun approach. So probably same hack?
