KICK has been the newest target of these hacks, with hackers taking over the Stake-backed platform’s X account and promising a new crypto coin.
“Kick does not have a crypto token and has no plans for one. Do not trust any posts claiming otherwise. It’s a scam,” KICK co-founder Bijan Tehrani posted after the account was compromised.

As it stands, the X account has been suspended by the social media platform with Tehrani stating that they are working on recovering it.
“Working on recovering the account – we do not have a token or any plans for one. Please note and report the post,” he added.

The KICK platform itself hasn’t been affected by the hack. However, if you do log on to check out a stream, be wary of anyone promoting a KICK crypto coin.
