Twitch star Jynxzi was banned on Twitch after his account was taken over by a hacker during a broadcast.
On Thursday, July 17, Jynxzi was playing Clash Royale on stream when his account was suddenly hacked.
The hacker reportedly started changing the Twitch star’s broadcast title, and the platform quickly banned his account due to the hack.
“This channel is currently unavailable due to a violation of Twitch’s Community Guidelines or Terms of Service,” reads Jynxzi’s account.
Jynxzi responds after Twitch ban
“Just got banned on Twitch temporarily because someone hacked into my account,” he said in a post on X. “Hopefully we can return today.”
In a follow-up post, Jynxzi shared the email he received from Twitch stating that he was permanently banned for “hacking and platform manipulation.”
“Engaging in activities that demonstrate or facilitate the disruption of private, government or Twitch services through DDoS, hacking, exploits, phishing, viruses, and other such tools,” it reads.
This isn’t the first time a Twitch streamer has been banned after their account was hacked, as the Amazon-owned platform almost always disables channels to prevent the hacker from accessing them.
