TLDR

YouTube now blocks uploads, livestreams, and other edits on suspected hacked channels for 24 hours or until the account is re-secured.

PPC Land reports that YouTube has implemented a security measure freezing uploads, livestreams, thumbnail changes, and playlist edits on channels suspected of being compromised. The lockdown typically lasts 24 hours, though confirmed hijacks remain restricted until account owners regain control; recent videos may also be set to private during this period.
