Nollywood actress Georgina Ibeh has opened up about a recent hacking incident involving her YouTube channel.
In a video shared on Instagram, the actress revealed that she received an email from YouTube on February 9 informing her that her channel had been taken down after it was compromised.
Ibeh, who owns the channel Georgina Ibeh TV, described the situation as upsetting but said she chose to remain calm and prayerful rather than panic.
She explained that after several days, she decided to check the channel again and discovered it had been restored. However, she noticed unknown individuals had taken control and were using it to share political content.
She wrote, “My YouTube channel got hacked on the 9th of February at 1:22 pm. I am Georgina Ibeh, and I am the owner of Georgina Ibeh TV on YouTube.
“On the 9th of February, at 1:23 am, I was nursing my baby to sleep, and I got an email. I opened it, and it says, ‘We have removed your channel from YouTube ‘
“I asked myself, “What did I press?” Or what did I do? I thought it was one of those spam messages or scammers. Apparently, someone hacked into my YouTube account and used it on Live. The person removed my name and replaced it with ‘Fox Live’. I didn’t know what to do; I wanted to panic, but I told myself to calm down.
“I just told God to help me because I didn’t know what to say. One spirit just told me to go check my YouTube channel. I quickly went to YouTube, dialled up my channel, and it popped up. The scammer used my channel to upload political content. Yesterday, my YouTube manager said we’ve gotten our channel, but we need YouTube to authorise us. We waited, and I got an email saying my channel has been recovered. Just say congratulations”.
“MY TESTIMONY. In the midst of chaos, I always try to stay calm. Learnt that 3 years ago. Please help me say, “Congratulations & Thank you, Jesus.”
