Kai Cenat, a prominent figure in the world of Twitch streaming, has regained access to his account after a significant breach left it compromised for several days. The hack not only affected his Twitch profile but also his YouTube channel, following alterations made by the perpetrator known as “Sava.”This incident has sparked considerable online discourse about cybersecurity concerns and the potential long-term repercussions for Cenat’s accounts.
On April 3, 2025, Cenat’s Twitch account was breached, leading to a temporary ban and restricting public access. The Twitch account was restored two days later on April 5, 2025.
Timeline of the Kai Cenat Hacking Incident
The news regarding the hacking of Cenat’s Twitch and YouTube channels spread rapidly on social media on April 3, 2025. Online users were quick to react as they noticed drastic changes to the streamer’s Twitch account, including the hacker’s logo replacing both the profile picture and the banner.
Additionally, under the hacker’s controls, Kai Cenat’s Twitch channel was relabeled as “Savawuzhere”for a short time. Shortly after the Twitch breach, Cenat’s YouTube account was also compromised, with the hacker modifying its handle and uploading a series of random internet clips and memes.
To mitigate further damage, Cenat’s Twitch channel was ultimately banned on the same day, April 3, with the intention of preserving whatever content remained. While the account has now been restored, it is noteworthy that all Video On Demand (VOD) content has been lost, with only select popular clips still available.
One of the most significant consequences of this hacking incident appears to be a dramatic loss of approximately 6 million followers from Cenat’s Twitch account. While the exact reasons for this decline are not yet clear, the streamer is reportedly recovering followers at a rapid pace. As of the latest update, his follower count exceeds 10.5 million on the platform owned by Amazon.
During a recent broadcast, Kai Cenat addressed the hacking incident, projecting a surprisingly calm demeanor. When prompted about the situation, he expressed his lack of concern, confident that the accounts would be reinstated in due course.
The restoration of Cenat’s Twitch channel has elicited diverse reactions among netizens, many of whom expressed their anticipation for the return of the popular streamer to the platform.
