Google needs to do more to protect creators here.
We’ve reached out to Google to comment on this latest YouTube incident and to provide information on exactly what the company is doing to protect creators here. While the breaches are likely from a combination of passwords and two-factor authentication being compromised, it feels like YouTube could do more to prevent the damaging effects of this.
I would personally like to see YouTube implement a lockdown mode for high-profile accounts where if you sign in from an unknown browser or location , then you can’t perform a channel rename or access livestreaming options or video deletion for a period of time. Combined with alerts for when a new location has signed in, this could help channel owners recover their YouTube accounts before any real damage is done.
YouTube could also implement a guardian system where you’d need second approval from another account to rename a channel or delete videos. This could also help slow down the impact of a YouTuber’s own machine being breached. Hopefully, YouTube has some even better ideas and can get this under control because I’m sick of waking up to a phone full of notifications about junk crypto videos from YouTube.
