I got hacked a couple years ago, probably the worst day of my life but thankfully UA-cam support was able to help. Really hope they find a way to stop this from happening, it's been an issue for years now
I really appreciate all of your help connecting me with UA-cam Support and directing me to get guidance from Retro Rick! Stay safe and awesome Nintendo Fans and Collectors
Glad everything was fixed. You got me into collecting around 3 years ago and in a video you said to ask family for consoles or gaming things they don’t use. Well my Uncle gave me a NES and my grandpa gave a CRT TV, that we’re judging sitting collecting dust. So glad you were able to get your channel back because it has been very inspirational.
I was so sad to see your channel got hacked. You just came back. The cover up panel looks cool. Too the untrained eye it looks like a part of the design. What did the plumber think of the room? Anyways im glad you got the channel back and cant wait for the room tour. Your place looks so awesome
Great question - the plumber was blown away but he's seen some pretty amazing collections before from Comics to Bands and more. He loved it though. Really nice guy.
I'm so glad that you got your channel back and that you didn't lose many subscribers! I think after some other recent hackings such as Retro Rick, people are able to identify what is happening and just wait for the creator and UA-cam to resolve it. I can imagine how stressful the situation along with the leak must have been, but at least you made it out to the other side; can't wait to see more content from you!
Man, that leak sucks too. I know all about that lately. The dormer on the house is leaking badly, and I'm waiting for it to be fixed. Luckily, it's not in my collection room. Glad you got everything up and running with your youtube channel again, would have been a huge shame to lose everything.
Just yesterday I thought about checking out your channel again, and then today I woke up to a notification about this video, glad you got it back! I've been watching you for around 10 years now, would've been sad to see your channel gone
Glad you fixed the leak with minimal damage. Glad you got your channel back too. I've been a fan of your channel for many years and it would have been a shame to lose all those fantastic videos. Glad you got them back so we can all enjoy watching them once again!
I'm very glad you got your channel back, and that leak in your sealing was able to get fixed. I know that it was a very stressful week. Very glad that everything worked out for you.
It's absolutely horrible when this happens! I remember when Retro Rick had this issue too. Good thing you got it back. Can I just say that I love the way you spend every single piece of wall space for stuff
Glad nothing got damaged. The setup you have is really amazing! You've filled every inch of that place- wait, you're Canadian, you filled every millimeter of that place!
I never subscribed although I've watched your tour a few times and enjoy having it on in the background as I'm multitasking. I subscribed now though just to help get ya back to where you should be. Good luck on all the recovery man. You seem like a good dude and tasteful collector with great attention to detail, so happy to support as well as I can!
Oh my goodness, I’m so glad you got this resolved quickly! I remember seeing the hack. I watched the unboxing of the Nintendo World Championships when it dropped and shortly after, saw the livestream. I clicked on it and instantly knew something was wrong. By the time I rushed to your Twitter page, I saw all the tags to UA-cam support. What a horrible experience. Sorry you had to go through that. Keep making great content!
Another UA-camr I watch in the fishing industry had this same thing happen due to the same camera company offering email. He had 2FA enabled and everything. He also had the same emails in the same order you mentioned where everything was being changed. Glad you got your channel back!
I'm so happy your channel is okay again! Yeah I remember when Retro Ricks channel got hacked 2 times. Some rough times with the leak aswell in Game room. Hang in there. I'm a long time subscriber so always happy to see you back!
@@NintendoCollecting my Retro Gameroom took so much inspiration from yours. I have all my amiibos on the shelves near the ceiling kind of how you put your Jax and World of Nintendo figures. You and Retro Rick and a few others are the ones that inspired me to start a channel! Thank you!
Hey Lithium, I'm glad to see that your in full control of your channel again, it must have been nerve racking with the process of getting your UA-cam channel back along with your sink leaking, it must have been quite a week but hopefully your through the worst of it. I look forward to seeing the Summer Room Tour and what you've collected during your short absence on UA-cam, glad to have you back!
I made a suggestion that you talk about this on Twitter. Not sure if I was the main influence (probably not lol) but it still made me so happy to see this I'm glad your channels back. I have so many memories watching you as a kid. I've even done Mariothons with my friends because of you!!!
Nah unfortunately haven't streamed much. I've sorta documented times and stuff. I love streaming but my friends aren't too big on it and I respect that
Sorry to hear about the hack and the leak. It must have been an awful feeling and a stressful experience. I’m glad you overcame both and Nintendo room looks absolutely gorgeous! Much love.
I’m so sorry that happened to you man. I’m glad you got your channel back and I’m sorry about the leak. I can’t wait to see more videos from you. I’ve been watching your content since 2016 and I hope you don’t have anything like this happen again.
I've been watching you for so long my life is entirely different than when I discovered the channel! Your videos have always provided a sense of comfort and joy I was searching for and I really appreciate all the updates over the years. Words cannot describe how thankful I am you got your account back, it would've sucked to lose so much history. I love putting on your unboxings when I need to wind down or a pick-me-up. Can't wait to see what you post in the future (even if things slow down a bit) 😃
So happy to see you back. That's terrible what you had to go through with the hack and the leak. I'm glad you were able to get through this, cause like you said, you don't know what you have till it's gone.
I am so glad you were able to get your channel back. I literally panicked when I saw that bitcoin stream and thought about Retro Rick and I thought, oh no they got Lithium!!! I’m glad it’s back! I’m also glad the leak was taken care of. We just had Hurricane Debby come through and had quite a bit of flooding where I am.
I recommend installing leak detection monitoring systems for your plumbing, it can be cheap, also make sure your foundation is good, usually weather destroys the foundation due to bad drainage.
Any god you've been through a truckload of stress all at once. My life is currently in a culdesac of hard times as well so props to you soldiering on. God bless you
I usually don't unsubscribe when a channel I'm subbed to end up being hacked. Also, it's great that you got your channel back. My old Discord account I had since 2017 got hacked on March 17, 2024 when a user I was friends under had their account hacked and I felt for it. I did end up creating a new account and I've learned my lesson.
A larger YTer that I watched, Billiam, got hacked a while ago. (Like a year or two?) He thankfully got his channel back soon afterwards. He does videos on old stuff from the 2000's.
So glad you're back! I've been following your channel for ages, I even just recently did my own Mariothon inspired by you :) Super happy that all is good!
Your Nintendo Cave is awesome! Curious, was the plumbers name Mario!😂 You have a great wife to allow you to do this! Sorry to hear you got hacked. Unfortunately there are evil ppl that try to take advantage of ppl, even on a slight mistake. Lessons to be learned, don’t click on attachments in an email, unless you 100% sure who it’s from. Always backup stuff because you never know when you will need it(although in this case you were fortunate and need to go through that process).
Hello Nintendo Collecting, it’s been a while since I watched some of your videos, but when I saw the subtitle. I was worried. I am glad that everything worked out in the end. I really wish hackers would stop doing that. But that’s just wishful thinking. I also thought that the hackers leaked future video ideas when it was just a water leak. A misunderstanding on my part. But anyways, glad that you got your channel back and that the pesky leak was fixed. Looking forward to future room tours. Hopefully this doesn’t happen to you and your wife in the future. Keep posting good videos. Take care.
Linus Tech Tips/Media Group was one of the more prolific UA-camrs that fell victim to this kind of social engineering a year or two (?) ago. I believe their video about the aftermath should still be up featuring bearded Linus. ... Is it wrong that my reaction to seeing the crypto livestreams pop-up was to shrug and think "Ah, cookies got stolen/phished. That sucks, hopefully he gets his channel back soon."? It _is_ such a common occurrence now that it's uncanny.
You being hacked is heartbreaking and I'm happy that you have your wonderful channel back. I have heard that the livestream of bitcoin or whatever and channel name and channel profile picture this has been a common issue and I have seen many youTubers complain for a long time now. This year I heard a few UA-camrs talk about this happening and they are channel of many things some are not even gaming related. In the past I had to change my information due to weird stuff like weirdo videos being on my watch later , email notices and other weird uncomfortable stuff like email related conversations so weird stuff going on. I was worried that you might have moved on and I wish you the best in the future and this won't happen again. Cool video. ^_^
How about putting one of those battery (9v) powered moisture sensors to either on top of your new panel or below the kitchen isle? Just my idea to save your awesome collection in the future.
So happy you are back cause I was worried and know you were hack and I unsubscribe but then I found out your channel was back I did re subscribe back to the channel ❤
GameXplain had almost the exact same thing happen. The video about the situation is called "We're Back After Being Hacked! Here's How to Avoid the Same Mistake"
Will we be seeing an unboxing video for the new Hyrule Edition Switch Lite and Echoes of Wisdom soon? I miss your regular uploads. Hope everything is well with you. 🙏
Glad you got your channel back. Do you have any tips for other UA-camrs to prevent this from happening? Or stuff we should have on hand in case it does?
Have a separate business email for UA-cam, set up all the backups you can, including backing your channel up on a USB. Don't click on links or files you don't trust too. Hope this helps!
Do you remember in an old Q&A video you did you said you would do a face reveal on the channel at 100k subs in a few years? When will you show your face? ☺
Was it email from Canon by any chance? I literally watched a video yesterday and they got email from Canon. When they dug deeper it turned out to be a scam. I'm glad you got your channel back.
so you had a plumber in your nintendo room. that's kinda funny.
I never thought of it that way...ha! Should have called Luigi
@@NintendoCollectingyes, Mario and Luigi could be good plumbers lol
Oh, no!!
@@nathendo145Too bad they’re in Japan! We must use our imaginations to make Mario and Luigi come to America and come to life!
I got hacked a couple years ago, probably the worst day of my life but thankfully UA-cam support was able to help. Really hope they find a way to stop this from happening, it's been an issue for years now
I really appreciate it man - I've also been watching you for years (let me know if you ever want to collab)
@@NintendoCollecting That would be amazing if you guys did
@@NathanielBandy bro I think I have someone who can help you out
I remember that. I was legit so confused the day it happened lol
@@SigmaohsjjIt was two years ago. He already got his channel back.
I really appreciate all of your help connecting me with UA-cam Support and directing me to get guidance from Retro Rick! Stay safe and awesome Nintendo Fans and Collectors
Te recomiendo ver la experiencia de Japan gemu que le paso lo mismo.
@@NintendoCollecting Can’t wait for the 2024 Room Tour this Autumn or this Holiday!😊
Glad everything was fixed. You got me into collecting around 3 years ago and in a video you said to ask family for consoles or gaming things they don’t use. Well my Uncle gave me a NES and my grandpa gave a CRT TV, that we’re judging sitting collecting dust. So glad you were able to get your channel back because it has been very inspirational.
On the access panel, put a water detector on it. It will beep if it leaks again.
Great idea! Thank you
So glad you’re safe and sound now, hopefully this will start up more videos to come in the future!
My hope is to post weekly again
So sorry that happened, my channel was never hacked, but i am still sorry, you are my favourite channel!
I was so sad to see your channel got hacked. You just came back. The cover up panel looks cool. Too the untrained eye it looks like a part of the design. What did the plumber think of the room? Anyways im glad you got the channel back and cant wait for the room tour. Your place looks so awesome
Great question - the plumber was blown away but he's seen some pretty amazing collections before from Comics to Bands and more. He loved it though. Really nice guy.
Having all of this happen in a week must've been stressful. I'm glad that everything working out though

Man, that leak sucks too. I know all about that lately. The dormer on the house is leaking badly, and I'm waiting for it to be fixed. Luckily, it's not in my collection room. Glad you got everything up and running with your youtube channel again, would have been a huge shame to lose everything.
I hope your dormer gets fixed soon too. It's not a good time! Thanks man!
so sorry all this happened to you... on another note, the ceiling looks pretty cool with the panel! looks like it was supposed to be there!

I appreciate that!
Very dangerous what one link can do. Be careful everyone. Glad to have you back!
dude you got super lucky on both nightmares! the access panel was a great idea for sure
Adding a warp pipe sticker on your panel would be great and symbolic as well
I like this idea and I already have a giant warp pipe - let me see what I can do
I'm very glad you got your channel back, and that leak in your sealing was able to get fixed. I know that it was a very stressful week. Very glad that everything worked out for you.
Glad you got your channel back. Ive been a viewer for 11 of those years.
Wow that's a long time I appreciate you!
It's absolutely horrible when this happens! I remember when Retro Rick had this issue too. Good thing you got it back.
Can I just say that I love the way you spend every single piece of wall space for stuff
It's definitely getting very full now. Not much room but I try to optimize every space
welcome back ^^
it's good to see new videos from you.
I hope that everything is ok with your family.
Glad nothing got damaged. The setup you have is really amazing! You've filled every inch of that place- wait, you're Canadian, you filled every millimeter of that place!

Thank you!
Glad to see you got the channel back bro👍 Can't wait for the next room tour👍
I think making the panel a warp pipe would be sick
I did unsubscribe when that happened but have resubscribed buddy. I'm glad you're back because I do really enjoy your videos! 😁

Huge changes to the room! I love it!
2 years ago Nathaniel Bandy got hacked from the same hacker source but he got back
Going to need a new room update. What is going to happen with the next console 😬. Everything in that room will need to change
I have a plan to expand the Switch to 2 shelves and add another shelf for the new system.
So many famous UA-camrs got hacked as well
Summer Vacation of course wow but getting hacked and a leak is extremely bad
Yeah not good timing but it's always bad

Meghan Rienks' story of being hacked is wild and probably why the process is much easier now.
Thank God you got your channel back
I was so confused when I was subbed to a crypto channel 😭
Im so sorry that you got hacked btw.
This room is worth as much as the house
Adam Koralik got hacked by the same people, he did a video talking about it.
Thanks for letting me know I'll check it out
I saw the hackers livestream. Reported it as soon as I saw it.
Thanks! Every bit helped
RGT85 had a leak in his arcade room around the same time
That's terrible. So frustrating. Did anything get damaged for him?
Man you know that plumber added a zero to his bill after seeing the Nintendo room
his name was luigi
Same happened to GameXplain and Alex CND

What an amazing collection!!!❤😮
