While experts believe that YouTubers should be extra careful in terms of securing their channels. The first one is to be careful with shortened links received by any means. It could lead to download malware which could steal confidential information. The second is to not share information on malicious URL even if it is shared by Google itself. The third one would be to keep strong passwords and to change them frequently.
