To try to address a Google Account's hacking here are three steps (a), b) and c)), and you must do them all:

 

a)  In order to deal with a hacking you must first "report" (it's not really a report, but it does trigger something at their end) the Google Account's hacking to Google. For this you need to follow instructions here: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/76187, and pick the instructions according to what applies to your case.  But you must do it as best you can, before moving on to:

b)  Then (and only then. Meaning that you must do a) above before you do this, part b)) please can you contact me in private on Google Hangouts (https://hangouts.google.com/chat/person/104217083390665628628) with the following info

The URL of this, your* thread (for my reference), and without which I cannot assist you,

The unique /channel/ URL (no other URL will do) of your YouTube channel,

The email address you use for your hacked Google Account, 

Full (URLs/email headers included) screen-grabs of the notifications Google would have sent you about the hacking, 

An indication of when this happened, and-

confirm here if you can use the email in 3. above (if not- can you provide an alternative contact email, preferably one used by your Google Account in some way).

*if this thread is not yours (as in- you're not the OP)- please make your own thread, and then share the URL of that thread with me as I cannot use someone else's thread to try to help you.

I will pass the info you send me on and, maybe YouTube support will be able to assist. Note the "maybe". Because there are no guarantees, as the hijacking team would actually need to verify that hacking took place. And if there is no evidence- they wont help YouTube support help you. But- if there was a hacking, then they WILL see it, have no fear.

I, personally, wont be told much because it is obviously confidential to you, but I do suggest that you stand by in case they need more info and ask me/you directly. But, remember, they only can try to help you if you've done a) above.

c)  Once you have regained control/access of your Google Account it is important/essential that you initiate two-step verification:https://www.google.com/landing/2step/ and get a decent virus detection/removal software for your devices to protect your Google Account in future.  More here (and you really should read it): https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/46526
