It has barely been a week when this channel was hacked and renamed as SpaceX 2021. The official youtube channel of PUBG Mobile Esports which has clocked over 3 million subscribers was hacked again and renamed as Brand Account. Although the officials have restored the previous name, the account hasn’t been recovered completely yet.
Similar to the previous incident, the channel was hacked when PUBG Mobile’s one of the most acclaimed tournament, P0UBG Mobile Pro League SA Season 4 was being live streamed. When the channel got hacked previously, the hacker had added a video of crypto currency but this time, no such video was added.
The home page of the channel also remained intact. However, there were few changes that caught our eyes. Some of the videos that were streamed earlier showed ‘No views’ and ‘streamed 19 January,2018’ even though the match was streamed few days ago. Even though the name has been restored, some videos such as PMPL Brasil Season 2 remains unavailable and the start date is also absent.
Most of the tournaments of PUBG Mobile, specially the regional leagues are able to garner 10K-20K views, however, the repeated incident of hacking has put a severe impact on the viewership of the tournament. The recurrent incidents of hacking has left the players as well as the fans in a state of disappointment.
In order to counter hackers, Tencent had brought the anti-cjeat system in PUBG Mobile under the ban pan program. Under this program, a routine check is made in the game to catch the hackers and ban them permanently from the game but even after these measures, some hackers are slipping away and the officials are kept on their toes.
