Adding my comment in the hopes it will inflate this thread's visibility.
I've noticed some people blaming Matthias for this which is silly. We all like to think we've got our security tight and locked but the truth is that, for almost all of us, it'll never be tested.
But I hope Matthias gets his channel back. I'm a long-time subscriber to both of his channels. Hopefully my comment adds into the pile and brings more notice to him :)
The number of things it is truly appropriate to say this about approaches zero. Matthias has extensive "computer" experience (and that's an understatement). It's counter-productive to no-true-Scotsman the concept of a person who is "competent" or "savvy" with "computers" - the field is too large/complex, especially anything remotely security related. Just focus on reality, i.e. what actually happens. This happened.
If his channel ever comes back, check out the cool wood projects incorporating a Raspberry Pi.
I can’t imagine what Matthias is going through right now. Hopefully this is reversed cleanly without losing history on the channel.
I don't even think the attackers care about deleting the original content, it doesn't serve them in any way, except maybe if they can extort extra money from the creator by keeping it hostage? Let's not give them ideas.
