- YouTube is adding a new AI tool that helps creators recover a hacked account.
- The new tool will initially be available to select creators but will eventually roll out to everyone.
- The new hacked account recovery tool is also only available in English for now.
Ever had your Facebook, YouTube, or another online account hacked? You’re definitely not alone, as this is an increasingly common occurrence with hackers’ tools and methods becoming more sophisticated in recent years. Now, Google is fighting back with the introduction of a new tool designed to help you recover a hacked YouTube account, as noted in an official post on the Youtube support site (via Android Police.)
If you believe your account has been hacked, you’ll be able to access the new troubleshooting tool through the YouTube Help Center. The tool utilizes AI to guide you through the recovery process without the need to contact Google support directly. This includes asking you a series of questions about your channel, such as any recent unauthorized changes to the account.
