Stay updated on Adin Ross Is Facing a Hack Threat for His Twitch Streams. Our latest report covers expert viewpoints in full detail.

Adin Ross has not been hacked on Kick, although two hackers that took over another stream have threatened to do the same to the popular content creator. On Aug. 15, two hackers managed to find their way into Destiny’s account and broadcast themselves playing flash games online.

They also threatened to sell the entire Kick database for $20, before claiming that their next target is Adin Ross.

“We’re going to stream on Adin Ross,” shouted one of the hackers during the stream. That’s the extent of the threat, and it sounds like the hack may not have been due to issues with Kick’s security protocols — at least according to Paul Chianese, Kick’s head of product.

“Unfortunately, this streamer’s credentials were compromised on another platform, and they used those to access his Kick account,” reads the statement. “There is no [vulnerability] with Kick stream keys, but as always, it’s better to have [two factor authentication] enabled to protect against these types of events.”
