Jynxzi briefly banned on Twitch after account gets hacked

by

Streamer Jynxzi experienced a temporary ban from Twitch when an unauthorized user gained control over his account during a live stream.

On Thursday, the 17th of July, Jynxzi found himself engaged in a game of Clash Royale live-streamed when, all of a sudden, someone else took control of his account.

It appears that the hacker allegedly began altering the live stream title of the popular Twitch personality. As a result, the platform promptly suspended his account because of the unauthorized access.

However, just 41 minutes later, access to Jynxzi’s account returned.

Got temporarily banned on Twitch since someone managed to hack into my gaming account, but I’m keeping fingers crossed that we’ll be back online today.

Hey folks, just wanted to give you all an update. I recently got an email from Twitch saying I’ve been perma-banned due to some accusations about hacking and messing around with the platform. Can’t wait to clear this up and get back to streaming! #GamingLife
