Google Introduces AI-Based Tool to Recover Hacked YouTube Accounts

YouTube, the popular streaming platform with millions of creators, has faced growing issues related to account hacking. In response, Google has launched an AI-based tool to assist creators in recovering their hacked accounts without needing to contact support.

How Does It Work?

Hacked Channel Assistant: Google’s new troubleshooting tool guides users through a series of questions about their Google account and YouTube channel. It helps secure login credentials and reverses any unauthorized changes made by hackers.

AI Chat Assistant: The tool employs an AI chat assistant to verify if an account has been hacked. If confirmed, users can regain access without contacting Google support.

English Availability: Currently, the tool is accessible only in English, but Google plans to make it available to all creators in the future.

Signs of Hacking: Creators are advised to check for signs such as altered profile pictures, AdSense accounts, or unauthorized video uploads.

Accessing the Tool: If you suspect your account has been compromised, visit the YouTube Help Center to access the recovery tool.

Google’s initiative aims to provide relief to YouTube creators facing security challenges. With this AI-powered tool, users can reclaim control over their accounts swiftly and efficiently.
