**The Struggle is Real: Our YouTube Account Got Hacked**

We're back online, and it's been a wild ride trying to get our channel up and running again after it got hacked. It all started when we tweeted out for help on Twitter, saying that our account had been compromised and asking if anyone could assist us in getting it back.

We didn't hear anything from YouTube or their support team the first day, which was already starting to get frustrating. The next day, we tried tweeting again, but still no response. At this point, we were feeling pretty discouraged because it had been two whole days with no word from them.

Determined to resolve the issue, we decided to delete all our previous tweets and post a new one, hoping that would prompt a response from YouTube. And, just like that, we finally got a message from their support team. However, this was after we'd waited for two days, still with no direct message or response on Twitter.

The Community Forums to the Rescue

That's when we stumbled upon the YouTube Community Forums and filed out the form for help with the hijacking of our account. Someone there guided us through the process, and we were able to get back into our Google account.

It took about three days to complete this process, but it was a huge relief to have that step behind us. However, when we tried to access our YouTube channel, we found out that it had been terminated because of some "garbage" video posted by the hackers. This meant we'd have to wait another two days for it to get reinstated.

A Big Relief and a Lesson Learned

It was an incredibly stressful ordeal, but thankfully, we were able to get our channel back up and running. We're now taking all necessary measures to prevent this from happening again in the future, including installing anti-virus software, getting a VPN, and implementing other security measures.

We want to thank everyone who reached out with support and advice during this time, especially those who suggested possible hackers that could help us. However, we were cautious not to engage with anyone who might have had ulterior motives. Thankfully, the Community Forums provided the guidance we needed without any issues.

A Special Giveaway

As a token of appreciation for your continued support, we're going ahead with our giveaway for the TS03 Watch, and we'll be doing more giveaways in the future. Stay tuned!

Lastly, we want to apologize if there was any confusion about our channel being associated with some investment company or bitcoin scam. We're committed to providing quality content and keeping our channel free from scams.

Thank you all again for your understanding and support during this difficult time.
