Since we’re all Jim Browning fans here, I thought I’d let you know his channel is back up and running, and he has posted a video explaining what happened to his channel.
But for a tl;dr:
Jim was sent a phishing email, but it came from a legitimate Google email server via a Google chat exploit, which claimed he had duplicate AdSense accounts, which is a violation of their terms and he needed to delete one. This was a scam he unfortunately fell victim to, and is a reminder that we should all be VERY cautious online and always double… no, TRIPLE check everything involving your personal accounts.
That’s good. Especially with my employer (a very well known tech company), I was going to present a Scam prevention / protection class and was hoping to send people his channel’s way for further information, and potential support for him!
