Yes but the other linus, Linus Torvalds is so much smarter and wouldnt let his youtube account get hacked like this cat lover linus 

It could happen to anybody.
After responding to dozens of email questions, it's conceivable that one could just click the wrong area in a js popup and boom you're screwed.
A lot of people rag on Linus, but I always have appreciated his technical knowledge and that there seems to be no scripting.

Just in case anyone else is interested, the LTT youtube page is back up and back at 100% apparently.  Sweet.

I agree, I think it was a combination of Linus and yourself that inspired me to build the computer I have now! :)

I enjoy it sometimes myself, and @wdflyer, I'm not necessarily a fan of that, just a big fan of when a person who's done nothing wrong gets hacked, loses all his stuff, and then it gets fully recovered thanks to awesome people.  Now I just hope that lame hacker gets what he deserves in a hardened case full of sharp nails and razors.

I don't exactly spend time watchin' a kid give cat tips on youtube, not that there is anything wrong with that, but isn't he one of the guys who was in the previously posted/removed links?
 
Did they give him his account back, or did he get assistance from somewhere, I thought the hackers gave it back to him because he made that video about, well, you remember...
