This has happened days after the hacking of the Twitter handles of celebrities like Barack Obama, Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Kim Kardashian West, and others. Hackers used these accounts to scam people and asked for donations and money to be sent to the IDs given by hackers. This incident has gotten the Cybersecurity officials all riled up.
Carry Minati’s fans have been saying that a lack of security from YouTube’s side is the cause of this hacking. Fans are sharing their concerns online in the form of memes around this incident. Reportedly, two live streams have been deleted from the account and it is not clear why as these videos have disappeared all of a sudden. On the other hand, Nagar’s other YouTube channel is left untouched by hackers.
