So glad that you got it resolved without major damage. I can imagine how that had to be frustrating and worrisome. You just can’t be careful enough these days, hackers are getting more and more sophisticated and trying from every angle. Glad that you’re back to normal! And thanks for sharing how it happened and how to resolve it.

Wow so glad to see you got this mess squared away. I get flustered when I have a simple glitch on the computer. I would be flipping out with what happened to you an everything that went with it, Gmail, and omg what about banking!!! Anyway, glad to see all your work has survived. And what would it be like without " Gene - Gene the Woodworking Machine" All the best from the Northeast! " Be careful out there "

So glad you're back, my friend. And so sorry I couldn't help you when it happened. But remember ... even though you have your gmail back, the hackers were able to read and keep a copy of every one of your mails. So if anything personal is in them that could be used to hack other places, make sure yu lock those down as well.

OMG Gene, maybe that's why I don't get the notifications? Phew, soooo glad you got it resolved, I missed your videos. I have heard from other people that they got troubles/hacked after the 2 part password set up. (I always refused to do that) God bless you and your family, big welcome back hug from Belgium - Daniella.

@@DIYGene Gene, I would be scared out of my mind if that would happen to me. I would be trembling my socks off from fear, plus not being able to contact ytube or Gmail for help... I would not know what to do. Thank the Lord He heard your prayers. So good to see you back. Hugs, Daniella.

Hello Gene, I am so sorry you had to experience something like this and "thank you and your son" for directions on how you handled this situation! Scumbags out there need to be dealt with and hope they do something. God bless and I will keep my eye out on your channel to spot any suspicious activity.

My Gmail got hacked last week but thankfully that was it. I started seeing all of these Activision emails and someone was playing Call of Duty under my email. Thought it was my 19 year old son but he has his own Gmail and doesn't play Call of Duty. So frustrating Glad you got back online as YOU!! .
