I did unsubscribe when the incident happened but resubscribed, so you didn’t lose me. I can think of a couple of possible suspects but it’s only a feeling, not based on proof. You do amazing work and didn’t deserve the stress you experienced. My Son in Law is a big computer guy who works in security. I was telling him about what happened. He said to back everything up so you don’t risk losing your content. Happy Easter and so glad you are back.

Richard Lucas

This is scary. Especially when you’ve got Julie “The Scarves” and Melanie “The Victim’s Advocate” still running around loose. I thought it was a mistake to show up at Mowapalooza!

Cindy

Congrats. You've 'earned' a true crime rite of passage. Sounds like HTC touched a nerve. Someone(s) prefer you keep the lies, deceit and murders hidden. Guess they don't understand social media and the TC community. There's no way this toothpaste is going back into the tube.

Debi Biggs

You guys are amazing! I am so happy things are getting back to normal .

Vivian Hall

So happy you’re back! 💖

Heather Carter

That’s awful! I’m so sorry! So glad you have support and you’re back online. Take care!

Lynette Byrnes

Do it, to hell with Putin. We need the truth to get through his thick disinformation curtain to innocent, misled Russians. 👊🏼 🇺🇦

Julie Raichart

So glad things are working out. Your subscribers will be back.

RobynB

Wow, that’s scary and how stress inducing. Damn. I’m so sorry, guys. Clearly you’ve hit a nerve, somebody doesn’t want you peeking into their lifestyle(s). Im sure the FBI will have a field day with this one.

Kate FitzGerald

I’m so glad you’re back! I resubscribed to YouTube. Take care of yourselves!!

Nita Fisher

I'm still subbed to HTC on YouTube. I'm sorry you had such a stressful weekend, but your supporters are still here. I love Linda and I'm not surprised one bit that she was already on the case.

Crystal Swannack

Well well well if this doesn't seem like maybe a JULI$ thing

Joanna Mulvaney

That’s messed up I hope the police manage to trace it back. The invasive email stuff is so malicious. Hope your information is safe and you give the instigator a nasty scare when it comes back on them. I will say this, I strongly doubt it was Mark Means. If he wanted to hack your mail box, you’d find him in the front yard with a little saw.

TriciaTheTrucker

I vote it was Avow.. and I really hope they, or who was responsible, is caught and exposed!

Julie Holden

Oh, y'all! No worries about upcoming content!! This was a major whammy that took unbelievable time and effort to recover from. 😔 I am soooooo glad that you were able to get your channel back so quickly! God bless nerdy brothers! (I have one of those, too! 😊💖) The wonderful community you've built will continue to rally around you and stay strong. And I hope law enforcement can get to the bottom of this! In the meantime, take at least a few days to regroup and finally relax — at least a bit! — before jumping back in. Hugs to you all!! 💚🦕❕

🤣🤣🤣 I am loving the mental image of Mark Means with a tiny saw!! 😂😂😂

Susanne Pappan

I'm so sorry this happened. I hope you're able to find and press charges on them. This wasn't just a normal hack, this was an attempt to destroy you both personally.. its so sick and wrong.

Kiira Jaakkola

Congratulations! Resurrection on Resurrection Sunday is the way to do it! Would it be ok to share the bit of information, that it's possible to be hacked so that Google won't even recognise your former existence, just to warn some other creators? I'm not sure, whether that would help though.

Roberta S Treacy

So sorry that this happened to you. I hope this is an isolated perpetrator and not some whacko group.

Lisa Ish Galindo

Welcome back! So grateful you were able to successfully recover your YT channel.

ShaRee

You both must be exhausted, I hope your recovery is quick. Happy Easter Matthias’s!

ShaRee

And one more thing, I was relieved when I got notification after notification of your content being put back up. So glad.

Debi

Keep sleuthing!

Purple

I'm so sorry you guys got so stressed and your personal details were exposed (if I understand correctly). I was one of the people who unsubscribed when I saw a new video in my feed from a channel I didn't know, but I'm back!

Delicate Venus Flytrap

Well i was unaware until all was recovered. I heard the collab w/ Linda on replay over the weekend. So sorry you had to go through all this. I do believe Lauren u mentioned in one of your shows something abt not having backed up (it stuck out to me) and w/ the negative talk from another channel cld easily have spurred on this attack. Your team behind u & the FBI on their trail… it will be solved!! All the best, anyone who was a subscriber will look for u and resub - i know it and u will gain more 💙🤍 take good care

Erica A. Zwick

You were in the belly of the beast and emerged victorious.

Chrissy Jackson

A myriad of reasons why your channel was hacked are going through my head right now so it will be interesting to hear the outcome after it is investigated. I really hope it wasn’t another YouTuber but there does seem to be this strange negativity going on in part of the true crime community that happened in the beauty community a few years ago on YT. That’s why (for me) it was so nice to see you collab with Linda. Maybe post all the YT videos here in Patreon as a backup. I know what it’s like to be hacked - my Twitter account was taken over this year and I couldn’t get it back. No big deal as I didn’t have that many followers but it was terrifying thinking something could be posted that was criminal or ruined my professional reputation

Karin Baird

Really sorry you had to endure these malicious shenanigans! I heard someone talking smack about you and the channel but honestly don’t think that channel has the brains to pull something like this off. I unsubscribed to that other channel as it was low vibes sour grapes and don’t want that in my life. What you do on your channel is highbrow true crime with intelligent analytical content. You have someone running scared 😁

Angel Bogart

I'm so sorry for all the stress. BUT this has only made y'all stronger. You're better, smarter, safer & yeah, they messed with the wrong community!! Keep up the good fight. I'm with you to the end💙✌

Tracy Warberg Holliday

Welcome back! Looking forward to the Putin episode and that was exactly my first thought when you were hacked. I hope whoever did this faces charges for it too! ♥️

Stephanie Stewart

Noted i was still subscribed on YT, thank goodness. This is one crime that shouldn't be hidden and people should be prosecuted but in this age doubt it will happen. So sorry it happened.

Jodi Z

Awww "the Easter Bunny brought the podcast back" ❤. Sounds like a major stressor and that you had a lot of support. Glad you reported it to the right places. Hope you all can have some peace and full resolution soon.

Jennifer Priebe

You poor babies! Speaking for myself-please never worry that you are letting down your listeners in these situations. We are all here rooting for you! If it t's the KGB trying to prevent your Putin episode-you know you have really made it big!

Lenore Lampi

Really looking forward to the Putin episode. There isn’t enough coverage in the totalitarian threat of his personality. Read his biography a few years back.

Candice Lacoste

So glad you guys are back and looking forward to future episodes!

Kathleen Miller

I wondered what was happening. Use the P word and analyzing him will bring you onto the wrath of P supporters. I saw an attack of trolls on The Behavior Panel when they analyzed P. Not only was it an organized attack, but when they mentioned specifically about maybe not understanding everything about P, they came on more personally with an explanation of a word. It was a haughty, totally protective troop of computer hackers.

Pamela Mosdell

Lauren & John, so glad the YouTube channel has been recovered. I hope that you are able to find the hacker.

Lara Eves

So glad you are back. How stressful for you. Hector? Loved Friday night all my favorite gals together. Thanks for all you do.

Edie Miller
>>82189096

Yeah it’s weird that they have Lauren live rent free in their minds like that. It’s obsessive, imo.

Edie Miller
>>82188066

I remember how the makeup community got hasty too. I just stuck to watching Casey Holmes since she wasn’t into sparring with other makeup creators lol.

Lee Howell

I’m so sorry that this crime was committed against you, Lauren and John. I hope the FBI track him/them down and that they are prosecuted —and exposed—to the fullest extend of the law. Stay safe!

Becca Moorhead

Yay! I'm glad you got it all sorted out. I hope you get justice.

Lenore Lampi
>>82196872

My apologies, I gave it to my son so I didn’t have it handy. I will look it up.

Fun2 Cruz

So happy you’re back! It’s so infuriating that people think they can just take what doesn’t belong to then!

Bjorn

This triggered me to check up on my own security and then I discovered I had an inactive old recovery phone number registered with Google, Yikes!

Sue Komernicky

Really terrible! I sure hope the FBI can track these perpetrators down. They need to face severe consequences!

Darcy Johnson
>>82196872

And, we have a past president that thinks he’s great. When will our own country wake up? If we can’t get our own people to, how will we ever break through to the Russian citizens? I knew that past president sold us out to Putin for his own financial gain, I guess I just never thought it would come on so quick. Covid, now the REAL possibility of world war 3… I say this with a huge, LOL…Was Lori and Chad right? Huge sarcasm. But, let’s be honest…it doesn’t take a Rocket Scientist to predict 1 of our enemies might attack us….

Lenore Lampi
>>82196872

My heritage is Finnish. I’ve always worried that Russia would take over all of Finland. Finland kicked their buts in the Winter War in the 30’s.

Eva Roberts

Just in time for Lori’s court appearance

Stephanie Budge
>>82196872

I’m really looking forward to this one. Thank you for putting the title of the book on here. I’m definitely going to look for it as well😊

Chelsea Jackman

So sorry this happened to your family and the fact that Banks was able to clue in demonstrates how much this must have affected you. I can’t imagine how violated you must feel. Glad you’re back online and that all is getting back on track. Computer geniuses are invaluable and I’m really happy that you have one in the family. Wish I could offer a suggestion as to motive other than the obvious. All my best to the Matthias family and the HTC Patreon community.

Melanee Evans

What a freaky crazy experience. What an eerie feeling that someone(s) got into your accounts, and even more that it was targeted. Makes me angry. So glad you’re back up and have people looking closely at it. Gosh. We had fraud on our retirement account not long ago and they somehow got into our google accounts and other accounts and tried to drain over 50K from one account alone. Fortunately it looked suspicious and we were alerted but it set off a chain of events that still affect us. Sending lotsa love and prayers!

Prince Charmings Mom 2930

There’s 2 YouTube creators that talk a lot of smack about your channel. Just sayin

Katie Alosi

You may want to reach out to other youtubers who have had a similar experience. I know Stephanie Harlowe was hacked in a very similar way. I know that you tubers that cover the Leticia stauch case get severely targeted. I think there has to be a common denominator here somewhere. I'm sure the FBI is well aware, but I'm not sure how many folks press charges once they get the issue resolved. Good for you for pressing forward with law enforcement!

Carol J Grygny

I was super sus at whomever donated all those big $$$ amounts during one of your lives. Just a thought I'd toss out to y'all.
