It was noted that on the evening of April 2, a number of YouTube channels such as Quang Linh Vlogs, Dong Paulo… were “hacked” similarly to Do Mixi’s YouTube channel this morning.
Accordingly, YouTube channels such as Quang Linh Vlogs and Dong Paulo have all been renamed “Ripple” similar to Do Mixi’s MixiGaming channel.
East Paulo’s YouTube channel with more than 800K Subscribers has been renamed Ripple and all the videos have “disappeared” leaving only promotional videos about the Ripple cryptocurrency.
Quang Linh Vlogs’ YouTube channel, which has more than 3.8 million subscribers, has only been renamed, the videos are still there and have not been deleted.
Quang Linh Vlogs or Dong Paulo are famous YouTube channels in the online world in Vietnam. These channels have hundreds of thousands or even millions of Subscribers.

A cybersecurity expert in the city. HCM said that the reason these channels were hacked may be because hackers attacked the MCN system that manages these channels, so all YouTube channels were attacked, renamed… in the same way.
Earlier this morning on April 2, many Do Mixi fans discovered that the YouTube channel with 7.3 million followers had been hacked.
Accordingly, Streamer Do Mixi’s YouTube account MixiGaming with 7.3 million followers has had all of its game videos hidden and switched to displaying a Livestream about Ripple’s XRP digital currency.
Currently, when searching for MixiGaming results on YouTube, viewers will only see 2 Livestream videos talking about Ripple (XRP), predicting “XRP coin will reach 2 USD” this month. Additionally, any old MixiGaming videos can no longer be found. The channel’s name was also changed to Ripple, accompanied by a “gray tick” confirming the owner’s account.
In addition, the Logo and YouTube channel name were completely changed by hackers. This situation made many Do Mixi fans feel worried, because on the evening of April 1, viewers could still access and watch Do Mixi’s videos.
