How to Protect Your YouTube Channel from Getting Hacked
Nowadays, millions of people around the world create YouTube channels and publish videos for diverse purposes like recreation, knowledge-sharing, experience-sharing, brand promotion, and earning. Hackers target successful channels which may waste the time, passion, and hard work of talented YouTubers. However, YouTube channels can be protected from hackers, by following a few simple steps. Let’s find out the ways to ensure a YouTube channel’s security.
14 Effective Tips to Protect YouTube Channel’s Security and Prevent Hacking
Create Dedicated Google Accounts
Multiple YouTube channels can be created using one Google account. Though it saves time, it is the least secure way to manage multiple YouTube channels. If a hacker gains access to that specific Google account, all YouTube channels connected to that account may get hacked. Therefore, it is recommended to create a separate Google account for each YouTube channel to prevent hacking.
Opening a YouTube channel with one’s regular Google account can be risky too. However, if someone’s YouTube channel is created using his or her regular Google ID, then it would be wise to switch the YouTube channel to a separate Google account.

Keep the email ID Private
Many people have a tendency to use the same email address for several related online business accounts. For instance, many Youtube channel owners create business-related accounts with the same Gmail IDs that have been used to create their primary YouTube channels. This practice enhances the risks of hacking.
When one uses an email address on any other website, there is a high risk of a breach of privacy and security. As hackers may attempt to access the email address, the Google account may be in danger. Having said that, a YouTube channel owner or manager should never divulge the email address (which is used to manage a YouTube account) to anyone or anywhere.
Set a Strong Password
There is a great chance of being hacked if one uses the same password across multiple apps, websites, and online platforms. A hacker can access someone’s Google account by obtaining the password from a less secure website where the user has previously applied it.

One should use different passwords for each website one registers with and each account one creates. A unique and strong password needs to be created while opening a new channel under a dedicated Google account. The passwords should be stored somewhere safe; it can be saved in memory or documents. Under no circumstances, the password should be shared with anyone else or reused again.
To assure security to a higher level, encryption programs can be used to encrypt the password and save it safely digitally. To decode the password from its encrypted form, all it needs is to remember the decrypt private key. Only the Google account’s real owner can interpret the original password because it is encrypted with a secret key.
Use Password Managers Carefully
Password managers can store passwords safely in one place. However, relying on password manager apps blindly can be risky. Not every password manager app or tool is secured.
Still, today, storing passwords offline is the best way to preserve a YouTube channel's Google account password safely.

If the YouTube account’s manager wants to sync and store across multiple devices, the Google Password Manager can be used. This default feature of Chrome browser has lots of facilities. Chrome Password Manager notifies the account holder if any password gets compromised. Furthermore, offline passwords can be imported into Google Password Manager.
Before using a third-party password manager, don’t forget to check reviews in different forums, and communities about any security breach news.
Change Account Password Regularly
It is crucial to routinely change the passwords of Google accounts. There is always a danger that one’s credentials can be exposed online or on the dark web. If someone uses the same password for a very long time and it is accidentally disclosed online, he or she may not find time or scope to protect the Google account and YouTube channel from hacking.

One can create their own highly safe password using a combination of numbers, symbols, small letters, and capital letters. Different apps and software can be used to generate strong and secure passwords randomly.
Use Two Factor Authentication
Two-factor authentication (2FA) is the top-level protection one can give to one’s Google account apart from the password. Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google (Alphabet Inc.), has recently revealed his trust in 2FA as the best measure to protect his accounts.
If someone’s YouTube channel’s dedicated Google account is not secured with a 2FA, it is high time for the channel owner to enable it. One can easily step up the Google account security with the Authenticator app from Google. It’s recommended to use a dedicated app and not your mobile number for 2FA. Hackers might clone your SIM card and get access to your 2FA codes if they already have access to your password.

When 2FA is enabled on a Google account, for every signing attempt, the system will verify the confirmation code sent on the account owner’s primary phone. Thus, hackers will fail to hack that Google account even if they somehow get the password.

Infinix Hot 30 Review: Budget-friendly phone with a smart design
The budget segment of smartphones is now more saturated than ever. With new releases every month, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to decide which one offers the best value for money. Infinix recently launched its latest device Hot 30 in Bangladesh on March 31. The device has already attracted consumers with its striking design and other features. Let’s take a look at the key specs, pros, cons, and price of Infinix Hot 30.
Key Features of Infinix Hot 30
Design and Build
The Hot series from Infinix always experiments with design. And each year, their designs bring a breath of fresh air to the segment of budget-friendly smartphones. Holding this legacy, the design is perhaps the most striking quality of the Hot 30.
Weighing 196g, Infinix Hot 30 bears dimensions of 168.7mm by 76.6mm by 8.4mm.

The first thing a user will notice is the glossy back with refractive patterns. The angular curved lines give a 3D effect to the back and offer impressive light play in its color variants including Racing Black, Surfing Green, Sonic White, Free Fire, etc.
This year too Infinix has gone with an iPhone-like design with a boxy shape and flat edges. And if it's any wonder, yes, the device can stand vertically.
The dual camera sensor along with the proprietary flash has been arranged in such a way that it exudes the triangular camera cutout of the iPhone. It's not a complete rip-off, rather it gives the Hot 30 a distinct look with the refractive glossy back.

The device is made up of a glass front, plastic back, and plastic frame. The frame has a brushed chrome finish to give it an aluminum-like appearance. It does a great job of resisting fingerprints.
All the usual ports and button selections are here. Here you will find a power button, fingerprint scanner, volume rocker, 3.5 mm headphone jack, and an extendable micro SDXC slot.
Display
Infinix Hot 30 comes with a 6.78-inch IPS LCD display featuring a 90 Hz refresh rate. The choice of LCD in this price segment is understandable. What matters is how well the panel is calibrated.
Read More: Samsung Galaxy A54 5G Review: Worth the price tag?
With resolutions of 1080 by 2460 pixels, Hot 30 has about 396 PPI density. The FHD+ display in testing looked sharp and crisp with better-viewing angles than the preceding Hot 20. The panel also has 500 nits of brightness with an additional 100 nits in High Brightness Mode (HBM).
The Hot 30 can be a good choice for media consumption and day-to-day use. The high refresh rate combined with the crisp display makes it a pleasure to interact with.
Camera
Infinix Hot 30 sports a dual camera setup on the rear side. The main sensor is a 50 MP wide-angle shooter featuring f/1.6 aperture and a ½.55-inch lens size; while the secondary camera is unspecified.

The secondary shooter on the ancestor Hot 20 was a QVGA sensor so it's likely that the one that comes with the Hot 30 is also a QVGA one.
China auto show highlights intense electric car competition
Global and Chinese automakers plan to unveil more than a dozen new electric SUVs, sedans and muscle cars this week at the Shanghai auto show, their first full-scale sales event in four years in a market that has become a workshop for developing electrics, self-driving cars and other technology.
Automakers are competing to roll out faster, more luxurious, more feature-drenched electric vehicles in the technology's biggest, most crowded market. The ruling Communist Party has invested billions of dollars in subsidies to buy an early lead in an emerging industry. Established global brands face intense competition from Chinese rivals.
For the first time since 2019, executives are flying in from the United States, Europe and Japan for the world's biggest auto show after anti-virus curbs that blocked most travel into China were lifted in December. Auto shows in the industry's biggest market went ahead during the pandemic, but on a smaller scale. Global brands were represented by employees of their China operations.
Drivers in the world's biggest auto market bought 5.4 million pure-electric vehicles last year, or about two-thirds of the global total of 8 million, plus 1.5 million gasoline-electric hybrids. That was more than one-quarter of total auto sales of 23.6 million. This year's EV sales are forecast to rise another 30%.
"Consumers lost interest in gasoline cars. That is the biggest challenge for foreign brands to compete in China," said industry analyst John Zeng of LMC Automotive. "They are going to have to show their best EV products."
Beijing is winding down government support and shifting the burden to automakers by requiring them to earn credits for EV sales. Manufacturers are pouring billions of dollars into developing models that can compete on price and features without subsidies. Many are forming partnerships to share soaring costs.
Auto Shanghai 2023 fills the cavernous Shanghai exhibition center, a 1.5 million-square-meter (16 million-square-foot) subcontinent of a building that is among the world's biggest.
Volkswagen AG, the country's top-selling brand, says it plans to display 28 models, half of them electrified. VW says it will debut its ID.7 limousine, which promises a 700-kilometer (435-mile) range on one charge.
China's BYD Auto, which competes with Tesla Inc. for the title of world's biggest-selling electric automaker, says it will display for the first time its U9 supercar from its luxury Yangwang brand. The automaker says the U9, with a 1 million yuan ($145,000) sticker price, can accelerate from zero to 100 kph (60 mph) in two neck-straining seconds.
China's auto sales peaked in 2017 at 24.7 million but collapsed in 2020 to 20.2 million after dealerships closed as part of efforts to contain COVID-19. They are recovering but are yet to return to the pre-pandemic level.
The ruling party's support for EV development is part of plans to gain wealth and global influence by transforming China into a creator of profitable technologies.
That campaign has strained relations with Washington and other trading partners, which are cutting off access to advanced processor chips used by makers of smartphones, electric cars and other high-tech products. China's own foundries can supply low-end chips used in many cars but not processors for artificial intelligence and other advanced functions.
Sales of gasoline-electric hybrids and pure-electric vehicles rose 26.2% over a year ago in the first three months of 2023 to 1.6 million, according to the China Association of Auto Manufacturers. Sales of pure electrics rose 14.4% to 1.2 million while hybrids increased 75.1% to 433,000.
Tesla and some other brands cut prices by 5% to 15% starting in January after sales growth slowed, though to still-robust levels compared with the slack U.S. and European markets. That prompted warnings the squeeze on an industry with dozens of fledgling brands might force smaller automakers into mergers or out of business.
China also is, along with the United States, a leader in development of self-driving taxis and trucks.
Baidu Inc., best known as a search engine operator, is the most prominent among developers that also include Pony.ai. Geely Group, owner of Volvo Cars, Lotus and Polestar, has announced plans for satellite-linked autonomous vehicles. Network equipment maker Huawei Technologies Ltd. is working on self-driving mining and industrial vehicles.
Baidu and Pony.ai received China's first licenses to offer autonomous ride-hailing services in Beijing with a safety driver aboard to take over in the event of an emergency in 2022. That came 18 months after Alphabet Inc.'s Waymo started driverless ride-hailing service in Phoenix, Arizona.
"We see very strong support from the government," said Jason Low of Canalys.
At the auto show, Chinese brand Aito plans to display its new M5 SUV with autonomous technology developed in an alliance with Huawei Technologies Ltd. The telecom equipment maker is expanding into the auto and other industries after U.S. sanctions imposed in a feud with Beijing over technology crushed Huawei's smartphone business.
China's market is so huge that even brands whose strongest selling point is roaring, gasoline-powered engines are embracing electrics.
BMW AG says its whole vehicle lineup at Auto Shanghai will be electrified. The German sport luxury brand says it will unveil two new models, the i7 M70L and XM Red Label, and show its M760Le in China for the first time.
Italy's Maserati, a Stellantis unit known for using high-performance Ferrari engines, plans to unveil its first electric SUV and says its electric sports car will get an Asia premiere.
Chinese luxury EV brand NIO Inc., which competes with Tesla at the premium end of the market, plans to display its latest SUV, the ES6. It promises a 610-kilometer (380-mile) range on one charge.
Mercedes Benz plans to unveil an electric SUV under its luxury Maybach brand and two SUVs. The company also has EV joint ventures with BYD Auto and Geely Group.
Toyota says it plans to unveil two new models in its bZ line of zero-emissions vehicles. Nissan plans to display its Max-Out electric convertible concept car. Honda is debuting a new prototype for its China-focused e:N electric brand.
Despite such investments, Western and Japanese brands need to be more aggressive about EV development to keep up with China's rapid evolution, said LMC's Zeng. He said many take too long to create models abroad without Chinese input.
"The model they bring to China lags behind Chinese models by three or four years in driving range and equipment," Zeng said. "They have to learn to design and test cars in China for China."

realme C55 Review: A Promising Budget-friendly Phone
The realme C55 is a budget-friendly smartphone offering satisfactory camera performance, a unique design, and decent overall functionality. The phone was officially launched in Bangladesh on April 2, 2023. Let's take a look at key specifications, pros, cons, and prices of relame C55 in Bangladesh.
Key Features of realme C55
Design
The realme C55 is a smartphone that boasts a 6.7-inch display with a screen protector applied during manufacturing, which is a nice added feature considering its affordable price range. It measures 165.6 x 75.9 x 7.89 mm or 6.51 x 2.98 x 0.31 inches and weighs 189.5 grams or 0.41 pounds, making it less ideal for individuals with small hands.
The ‘Rainy Night’ or black version has an elegant appearance, especially with the design of the camera system. The back of the phone is made of plastic, which tends to accumulate dust quickly and feels slippery. The phone's left side has only the SIM tray and the punching hole, while the right side has the Power button that doubles as a fingerprint scanner and the Volume rocker.

On the bottom edge holds a USB-Type C port for charging, a 3.5mm headphone jack, a speaker, and a microphone. Although it lacks Gorilla Glass for display protection and dust or water resistance, the realme C55's design gives an impression of a more expensive smartphone.
Display
The display of the realme smartphone is an economy model and uses a conventional IPS LCD. However, the 6.72-inch display is average, and the colors are easy on the eye. The IPS screen is even better than some newer models in 2023, except for the white color slightly darkening when tilted.
The screen's peak brightness is 680 nits, which is enough to use the phone outdoors on a sunny day. Interestingly, the minimum brightness is only 2 nits, making it perfect for nighttime use without disturbing others. The screen offers several color display modes, including Vivid, Natural mode, and Pro, with two more modes available in the latter for finer color reproduction.
Read More: Samsung Galaxy A54 5G Review: Worth the price tag?
The screen refresh rate is 90Hz, with three operating modes to choose from: standard 60Hz, 90Hz, and auto mode. However, the auto mode tends to use 60Hz more often, conserving battery life. The screen options include light/dark themes, screen color mode selection, vision protection, auto-rotate, auto-off, refresh rate selection, display/hide front camera cutout, and full-screen mode for non-optimized apps.
Camera
The realme C55 smartphone, despite being a budget device, manages to exceed expectations with its camera setup. It features a 64-megapixel primary rear camera and a 2-megapixel sensor. It also offers an 8MP selfie camera. Both the primary rear sensor and the front sensor perform well under broad daylight.
Switching to the 64 MP mode, there is a slight improvement in capturing details, which may not be noticeable at first glance but is apparent upon closer inspection. The Bokeh Flare Portrait mode and AI Color Portrait mode, however, tend to mess up the edges of the focused objects.

'I shouldn't tweet after 3am': Musk says owning Twitter has been 'quite painful'
Elon Musk has described running Twitter as "quite painful" and "a rollercoaster" in a live interview with the BBC.
The multibillionaire also said if the right buyer came along, he would sell the company.
Twitter was purchased by Musk, who is also the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, last October for $44 billion.
The interview took place at the company's headquarters in San Francisco and addressed his work habits, misinformation, and the huge layoffs.
Musk acknowledged that the only reason he followed through with the Twitter takeover was because a judge was about to order him to buy the company.
During the conversation with BBC, Musk tried defending his running of the company.
When asked if he regretted purchasing Twitter, the second-richest man in the world said the "pain level has been extremely high, this hasn't been some kind of party".
Talking about his time at Twitter, Musk said: "It's not been boring. It's been quite a rollercoaster."
It has been "really quite a stressful situation over the last several months," he added, but he admitted that buying the company was the right decision.
Around the beginning of 2022, Musk increased his stake in Twitter and offered to buy the company. However, after he attempted to back out of the agreement, Twitter sued him.
Musk told the BBC that things are "reasonably well" and that "the site works" and that usage is growing.
Due to his workload, he admitted, "I sometimes sleep in the office", and he also has a sofa area in a library "that nobody goes to."
He also addressed his controversial tweets saying, "Have I shot myself in the foot with tweets multiple times? Yes."
"I think I should not tweet after 3am," he added.
Twitter is now "roughly breaking even" Musk said while discussing its finances, as majority of the advertisers have returned.
It had not been easy cutting the workforce from just under 8,000 at the time he bought the firm to about 1,500, Musk added.
He acknowledged that he did not personally fire everyone, saying, "It's not possible to talk with that many people face to face."The exit of many Twitter engineers following Musk’s purchase of the company has raised questions about the platform's stability.
He admitted certain issues, such as site outages, but claimed that they had only lasted a brief period of time and that everything was presently great.

China’s Alibaba to roll out ChatGPT rival Tongyi Qianwen
Alibaba, a Chinese technology giant, has announced plans to roll out its own artificial intelligence (AI) ChatGPT-style product called Tongyi Qianwen.
In recent months, technology companies around the world have unveiled their own so-called generative AI chatbots.
Earlier this year, Alibaba revealed it was working on a rival to ChatGPT, reports BBC.
Tongyi Qianwen roughly translates as "seeking an answer by asking a thousand questions", although Alibaba has not given an English version of the name.
Its cloud computing unit says it will integrate the chatbot across Alibaba's businesses in the "near future" but did not give details on its timeline.
"We are at a technological watershed moment driven by generative AI and cloud computing," Alibaba's chairman and chief executive Daniel Zhang said as Tongyi Qianwen was launched.
The company said Tongyi Qianwen, which is capable of working in English as well as Chinese, will initially be added to DingTalk, Alibaba's workplace messaging app.
It will perform a number of tasks including turning conversations in meetings into written notes, writing emails and drafting business proposals, the company said.
Alibaba said it will also be integrated into Tmall Genie, which is similar to Amazon's Alexa voice assistant smart speaker.
Interest in generative AI has surged since the release of ChatGPT by Microsoft-backed OpenAI in November.
ChatGPT can answer questions using natural, human-like language and it can also mimic other writing styles, using the internet as it was in 2021 as its database.
Microsoft has spent billions of dollars on the technology, which was added to its search engine Bing in February.
The US software giant also said it will embed a version of ChatGPT in its Office apps, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook.
Alphabet's Google and Chinese technology group Baidu have also announced their own AI models and released similar chatbots.
