YouTube has added a new ai assistant feature that allows users who have been hacked to recover their accounts and protect them from future invasions. An announcement about the new help feature appeared earlier today on Google support page for YouTube.
The new “hacked channel assistant,” available on YouTube, will allow “eligible creators” a way to fix problems with their accounts when they have been hacked. The feature can be accessed at YouTube Help Center.
The assistant will ask a series of questions to help affected users secure their Google login, undo anything the hacker has done to their channel, and protect their channel from being accessed by other hackers. So far, the feature is only available in English and to a select group of “certain creators,” but Google says it’s working to make the features accessible to all YouTube creators.
