Hackers still haven’t let Do Mixi go when this streamer’s MixiGaming YouTube channel continues to be hacked again.
As the newspaper reported, early last week, the MixiGaming YouTube channel was attacked and hijacked. Hackers then hid all video content and used this channel to livestream cryptocurrency advertising content.
About 24 hours later, the streamer regained control of the channel. The MixiGaming YouTube channel then returned to normal operations. However, this morning (April 9), Do Mixi’s YouTube channel was once again hacked.

The channel’s logo was also renamed to the letter X like the SpaceX logo.
When accessing the channel, the name and logo will return to MixiGaming as before. However, all old videos on the channel have disappeared. On the MixiGaming YouTube channel, there are no new videos or live broadcast content appearing.
