Popular Twitch streamer Kai Cenat’s channel, which boasts over 16.8 million followers, was reportedly hacked on April 3, 2025.The hacker replaced Cenat’s display image with a “Sava” logo and added a Discord link to the banner that redirected users to “Discord.gg/namesnipes.”

The incident quickly drew widespread attention on social media, with fans expressing confusion and disbelief. “How does the biggest streamer on the platform get hacked?” one X user wrote. Others criticized Twitch’s response, calling the platform’s security into question.

Cenat’s Twitch username was temporarily changed to “Savawuzhere” before being reverted to its original handle. According to automated tracker @StreamerBans, the account was also briefly banned—likely a precaution by Twitch to prevent misuse. The page has since been restored, though the altered profile image remains.

This marks the second high-profile hack targeting Cenat. In February 2025, his TikTok account, which had over 17 million followers, was also compromised. That breach led to the temporary loss of more than 130 million likes, which have since been recovered.

Cenat, currently the fourth-most followed streamer on Twitch behind Ninja, Ibai, and Auronplay, has not yet commented publicly on the situation. Some users have speculated that the same individual or group may be responsible for both incidents, citing similarities in the logos used.

While Twitch has yet to issue a statement, it typically suspends compromised accounts to prevent further misuse under its Terms of Service.
