This is really easy to do and I'd imagine very profitable.

* Get a reasonable looking website and domain (in this case ethceo.pro

* Hack a YouTube account with 1M plus followers

* Go "live" on YT with an old interview with someone reputable

* YT ranks you in the algorithm

* Profit

Digital Foundry's YouTube channel got hit with a similar hack last month: https://kotaku.com/digital-foundrys-youtube-channel-hacked-b...

It's crazy how elaborate the ways to gain control can be. Even Jim Browning was taken briefly for one of these account take over schemes.
