Important Update Regarding the Reverse: 1999 YouTube Channel:
Hello Players,
The official Reverse: 1999 YouTube channel for global servers (@Reverse1999) was recently hacked. Someone posted content without our permission. We have…

The developers warned players about the hack and advised them to avoid clicking on any strange links or content about cryptocurrency that they might have seen on the channel during the incident.
The notice stated that some inappropriate posts included scams promoting cryptocurrency and links designed to steal personal or financial details, clearly aiming to deceive people into giving up their information.
It’s really discouraging to see these attacks happening so often, particularly in 2026 when we’d hope for stronger security on important platforms. However, completely preventing these kinds of incidents can be difficult.

Hackers are increasingly using a common tactic to commit crypto scams: they seize control of a legitimate account, fill it with misleading information about investment opportunities, and attempt to withdraw funds before the owner realizes what’s happening. This isn’t limited to crypto; celebrities and other popular accounts on social media have also been targeted.
The good news is that issues like this are usually fixed quickly. Once YouTube confirms who owns the account, channels are typically back up and running within a few hours or days. We’ll continue to share updates here as we work to get the official channel restored.
