On April 3, 2025, popular Twitch streamer, YouTuber, and member of AMP (Any Means Possible), Kai Cenat, faced a major security breach as both his Twitch and YouTube accounts were hacked. With a significant following of over 16.8 million on Twitch and an additional seven million subscribers on YouTube, the news rapidly spread, stirring considerable online discussions.
Cenat is renowned for being among the top creators in digital content, which has further amplified the impact of this hacking incident. This article outlines the series of events that unfolded following the breach.
Timeline of Kai Cenat’s Twitch Account Hacking
Kai Cenat, ranked as the fourth largest creator on Twitch, was targeted early on April 3, 2025, specifically around 2 AM EST (11 PM PT). At this time, his Twitch account, which boasts a staggering 16.8 million followers, was compromised.
Upon the hack, significant alterations were made to Cenat’s account, including a change of both the banner and the display image to a logo associated with the hacker identified as “Sava.”The banner displayed a link to a Discord server: Discord.gg/namesnipes.
Almost immediately after the hack, the perpetrator initiated a live stream showcasing their Discord server, creating further alarm among Cenat’s followers.
The channel name was temporarily altered to “Savawuzhere,”but it has since been reverted to its original title. Reports indicated that the Twitch account faced a brief suspension; however, it has now been restored for public access.
Once the hacking incident occurred, the channel description (which has since been removed) cited a supposed motive from the hacker:
“Got my Discord suspended Mr. Cenat, this is what you get. Btw nice number (censored).”
Compromise of Kai Cenat’s YouTube Account
The hacking saga did not conclude with the Twitch breach. Approximately 90 minutes after his Twitch account was compromised, Cenat’s YouTube channel also fell victim to hacking.
Cenat’s YouTube channel, home to over seven million subscribers, experienced drastic changes post-hack, including a rebranding to “@SawaWuzHere”and the removal or privatization of all existing videos.
The hacker further exploited the community engagement feature, posting a message to the YouTube Community section which stated:
“W Sava @sava2flyy Check out his tag: sava2flyy”
As of now, there has been no official comment from Kai Cenat or AMP regarding the situation.
This incident isn’t Kai Cenat’s first encounter with hacking; in February 2025, his TikTok account, which had over 17 million followers, was similarly breached by the same hacker group, “Sava.”During that incident, numerous videos were deleted, resulting in a substantial loss of over 130 million likes. Fortunately, Cenat’s TikTok account was eventually restored, along with the reinstatement of the previously removed videos.
