On April 28th, they were fallen victim to cryptocurrency hackers who has singlehandedly deleted the entirety of their videos and rebrands it as 'Ripple'. Their manager later take down the livestream, and limited the damage. This has lead to them losing 20K subscribers, mostly due to them not recognizing the original channel as soon as they saw the livestream and thus mistakenly unsubscribed them. They have mentioned that they had no recalls of clicking suspicious links or downloading malicious files.^[1]
