Hackers threaten Adin Ross after hijacking Destiny\u2019s Kick stream Unsplash\/Adin RossTwo hackers threatened to go after Adin Ross next after they managed to hijack Destiny\u2019s Kick channel and stream in his place. Unlike IRL (in-real-life) streams, where members of the public can interrupt the broadcast and ruin things, streaming from your own home by yourself should go without issue. Though, this isn\u2019t always the case as streamers make mistakes and run into issues. The biggest issue faced by those streaming from home is that they may be targeted by trolls and hackers. Trolls often just want to derail the stream while hackers look to compromise the security of it. Platforms like Twitch, YouTube, Kick, and others offer 2FA security \u2013 two-factor authentication \u2013 to prevent hackers from having their way. However, Destiny\u2019s Kick channel was hijacked by two hackers who streamed in his place. Hackers hijack Destiny\u2019s Kick channel and threaten Adin Ross That\u2019s right, on August 15, Destiny\u2019s Kick channel hosted two unfamiliar faces after they managed to get his stream key and take over the broadcast. Unlike Destiny\u2019s regular political content, the hackers played flash games on Google and threatened to sell Kick\u2019s \u201cdatabase\u201d for $20. Then, they moved on to another target \u2013 Adin Ross. \u201cNext, we\u2019re going to stream on Adin Ross,\u201d the off-camera hacker shouted as the other one, who was on camera, urged viewers to donate for other reasons. Paul Chianese, Kick\u2019s head of product, stated that the hackers got Destiny\u2019s stream key as his \u201ccredentials were compromised on another platform\u201d and that two-factor authentication was not used. \u201cThere is no vulnerability with Kick stream keys,\u201d he added, urging streamers to use 2FA anyway. As of writing, they haven\u2019t taken over Adin Ross\u2019 channel and it\u2019s unknown if they have any details that would compromise other streamers on Kick.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
