In a startling incident that has sent shockwaves through the online streaming community, popular Twitch streamer Kai Cenat's account was hacked on April 3, 2025. With over 16.8 million followers, Cenat's channel was reportedly altered, leading to the deletion of all his videos and clips. The hacker, who has targeted Cenat before, left a message indicating the motive behind the breach.
At approximately 2 AM EST, Cenat's Twitch account was compromised. The hacker, known as Sava, changed the channel's name to "Savawuzhere," and modified the profile picture to reflect their branding. A banner was also added, featuring a link to a Discord server named "namesnipes." This Discord link redirected viewers to the hacker's channel, showcasing their own content instead of Cenat's.
The hacker's message on the Twitch page read, "Got my discord suspended Mr. Cenat, this is what you get," indicating a personal vendetta against the streamer. While there were initial reports suggesting that the account had been suspended, users were still able to access the page, albeit without any of Cenat's previous videos or clips. Fans expressed their concerns on social media, with one user commenting on Musk's X (formerly Twitter), "bro they deleted all of his vods & clips." The situation escalated when the hacker went live on Cenat’s channel, further solidifying their control.
But the hacking incident did not stop with Twitch. About an hour and a half after the Twitch breach, Cenat's YouTube account also fell victim to the same hacker. With over seven million subscribers, his YouTube handle was changed to "@SavaWuzHere," and all videos were either set to private or deleted. A post in the Community section of the YouTube channel promoted the hacker's alias, further complicating the situation.
The hacking of Cenat's accounts is not an isolated incident. In February 2025, the same hacker gained access to his TikTok account, which had over 17 million followers at the time. That breach resulted in the loss of over 130 million likes, although Cenat's TikTok was subsequently restored to its original state within a few hours. This pattern of repeated attacks raises questions about the security measures in place for high-profile streamers.
As news of the hacking spread, fans and fellow streamers took to social media to express their shock and concern. Some even speculated whether this incident could signal a downturn in Cenat's career, which has been on an upward trajectory since he began posting videos in 2018. Cenat's popularity soared after he won the Streamer of the Year award in both 2022 and 2023, and he was honored with the Kids' Choice Award for Favorite Gamer in 2024.
The implications of this hacking incident extend beyond just Cenat's personal brand. It highlights a growing trend of hacking within the streaming community, where individuals seek to exploit popular figures for personal gain or revenge. This incident has reignited discussions around the need for better security protocols and protective measures for content creators.
Despite the chaos, Cenat has not yet publicly addressed the hacking on his social media platforms. Fans are eagerly awaiting his response, hoping for reassurance amid the uncertainty. The incident has raised alarms not only for Cenat but for other streamers who may find themselves vulnerable to similar attacks.
In light of the ongoing situation, many are left wondering how platforms like Twitch and YouTube will respond to such breaches in security. With the increasing popularity of live streaming, the potential for hackers to disrupt the careers of creators poses a significant threat. As the online world continues to evolve, so too must the strategies for safeguarding digital identities.
While Cenat's Twitch account appears to be back online, the damage has been done. The loss of content, coupled with the hacker's bold claim of revenge, has left an indelible mark on the streaming community. As fans and fellow creators rally behind Cenat, the hope is that this incident will serve as a wake-up call for all platforms to prioritize the safety and security of their users.
As the dust settles, the future remains uncertain for Kai Cenat. Will he recover fully from this attack, or will it signal the beginning of a more challenging chapter in his streaming career? Only time will tell, but one thing is clear: the battle against online hacking is far from over.
