Youtube account blocked because it was hacked?

My youtube account was blocked about a month ago. I had no explanation for it because I never broke the rules. I raised an objection, but you stayed with the verdict. Now I wanted to delete the brand account via my account and suddenly saw that I have over 400 subscriptions and 22 videos on the channel. However, I only uploaded about 4 videos, and more like that for testing. But definitely not a Fortnite video… And when I was last online I only had 90 subscriptions. I think that someone got my password, which is strange because I didn't get any email or anything. At that time, however, I had the 2 factors of authentication off.

What can I do? I would very much like to have my account back…

I would be very grateful to you for suggestions.

You can describe this situation to YouTube. They certainly want some evidence of your statements that you have to give them somehow.

It could be difficult. But you know that: Always use authentication!

I've noticed that now.

But I have no evidence at the moment. And your own opinion will probably not count…

The most annoying problem with YouTube is, however, that you never get a human contact, but mostly only answer robots.

Maybe you can see that the 5 videos of you are very different from the other 17. But of course you can hardly verify that

Sure, one is just some NCS streams that I tried out, the other is Fortnite Hacking Videos.

Do you happen to have a different route than this complaint form?

It's best to check your Google Account to see which devices you're signed in to. The "hacker" (the person who has your password) has to know your password, which means I would change that first. Otherwise just click through to myactivity.google.com, there are many options for what you can do. Otherwise you could try contacting Google or YouTube support, but that often doesn't help (not always!). So as I said: Just click through my activity, there are many options.

Unfortunately I can no longer contact Youtube Support because I have already submitted the form. Do you have any contact or other way to contact Youtube?

St

I don't think on YouTube.

I think YouTube only has the complaint form. Other (sometimes really big) YouTubers would have their problems with that. I might delete the channel (if you say you didn't have any important videos on it anyway) and change the password on Google. Then go to My Activity to see if it says when and where you logged in, and also activate all security levels there.
