In a shocking twist, globally celebrated Twitch streamer Kai Cenat's influential 130 million TikTok page was hacked, and all of his videos were wiped out. The news triggered an avalanche of responses on all social media sites as the fans reacted with a mix of shock, outrage, and horror.

When Twitch streaming, Cenat addressed the hack after being informed of the issue by his fans. He cautioned fans against opening any links from his hacked TikTok account, showing how severe the issue was. Cenat reassured fans that the TikTok staff was already working on resolving the issue and restoring his account online.

When word of the hack got out, fans flocked to social media to share their thoughts, with many wondering how something so large could occur. One fan wrote,

Fans voice their frustration about the situation

The majority of Cenat's fans have shown their concern about social media protection, citing that there should be increased security for VIP accounts. Some questioned if TikTok itself was secure, while others believed that Cenat's management could have done more to safeguard him.

Another fan highlighted the irony that such a public figure was targeted despite having security in place.

"That’s crazy! Losing that much engagement is brutal. Hope he gets his account restored soon." One fan posted
"This Is Just Insane Because What" wrote another fan

While others were quick to criticize TikTok's security measures, some called for patience and tolerance, acknowledging that such accidents are becoming more and more prevalent in the digital age.

"They can restore that in 3 seconds. But still sucks. And yes, I know this from personal experience," one user tweeted
"do people not know that tiktok very much has the ability to "recover" all his posts if they really want to. None of his videos are actually deleted it's just not publicly available," commented yet another

Not the first time Kai Cenat is facing such trouble

This is not the first time that Cenat has been hacked.

In September 2024, his Spotify account was hacked, and he publicly begged the hacker on a livestream to restore his access. The fact that this happened repeatedly has worried his fans, with many calling for social media sites to add more security features.

While the fans keep waiting for news, the incident is a harsh reminder of the challenges facing even one of the most popular creators in the world. As hacking cases grow by the day, everyone is demanding that platforms such as TikTok re-examine their security measures to avoid such violations in the future.
