Major YouTube channels are typically managed by multiple people through the channel management features and brand accounts. I don't think it's possible to even log in to the brand account (which has a generated email address like channel-000000000000000000000@pages.plusgoogle.com) instead it can only be accessed through an authorized user's account (which are distinct from the channel, i.e: it's not the email address that would be surfaced by this attack). Granted, things have changed over the years, so there may be old channels lingering with Google account linked email addresses, but from what I can tell, all channels were converted a while back. https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/7001996?hl=en-GB edit: My hunch is that the channels the OP's attack was able to target are not actual channels but rather YouTube users (who have a "channel" because that's how YouTube represents users): so "YouTube User" is the correct description of this attack, which is distinct from what you're thinking of as a channel. |
