Jomin Hacked, "Afraid the Video I Worked Hard on Might Disappear"

Existing videos removed, only cryptocurrency-related videos remain
Jomin "It takes about 2 to 7 days to recover the account"

Jo Min, the daughter of former Minister of Justice Cho Kuk who has transformed into a YouTuber, had her YouTube account hacked.

On the 6th, Jo Min posted on Instagram, "Hello, this is Jo Min. My Google and YouTube accounts were hacked just 30 minutes ago."

Jomin launched a YouTube channel in May under the name 'Jjomin minchobae' and began her activities. She experienced a hacking incident just as she was about to reach 300,000 subscribers.

Jo Min said, "I am currently making every effort to contact Google regarding account deactivation and other issues, but it may take some time to recover the account, so I ask for the understanding of my subscribers. I am very scared by the anxiety that the videos I worked hard on so far might disappear, but I will try step by step. Please wait a little. I am sorry."

About two hours later, she posted again, saying, "I have to wait for Google's response, but it seems it will take about 2 to 7 days to recover the account. Please wait a little."

Jo Min opened her YouTube channel in May and started activities under the channel name 'Jjomin minchobae.' She experienced hacking damage just as she was about to reach 300,000 subscribers. Immediately after the hacking, Jo Min's channel name was changed to 'XRP-LIVE,' existing videos disappeared, and cryptocurrency-related videos were posted.

This appears to be a hacking aimed at spreading fraudulent videos related to the cryptocurrency Ripple (XRP). Previously, many well-known domestic YouTube channels such as Rankingschool, Boda, Awesome Korea, and Issue Toktok have suffered hacking attacks using the same method.

Currently, Jo Min's YouTube channel is inaccessible, displaying a message saying, "Sorry. This page is not available. Please try searching with a different keyword."

On the 10th of last month, the prosecution indicted Jo Min without detention on charges of false document preparation and use, obstruction of business, and obstruction of official duties by deception. Jo Min is accused of submitting false documents to the Admissions Office of Busan National University Medical School and Seoul National University Medical School.
