I'm out of the loop. What's that referencing?
Linus got phished out of his twitter account recently.
Respect where it's due. He owned it and was transparent so everyone can learn. Apparently he was at a pool party and just about to throw the burgers on the grill when he got an email that said his account was logged into from Turkey or Russia or someplace.
He panicked a bit, because of the last time his YouTube account was hacked he felt like acting quickly was the only thing that help it not be worse. I think he clicked the link in the email and "logged in" and boom. Got em.
Caught him at the right time and place and it all aligned to burn him.
That sucks. Thanks for the info.
Did he end up getting his account back?
