It was thought that having a verified account would somewhat help secure the accounts of celebrities from hacking attempts, hackers but in the following cases, the account holders could only feel helpless and weakly call for help.
Specifically, after a trip with his close friends from the Refund team to Ha Long, streamer Rambo was unexpectedly subjected to a name change on his personal Facebook account. Despite having nearly 700,000 followers and a verified badge, his account was still infiltrated by hackers as usual.
The hacker did not demand a ransom or change the password but simply changed the famous streamer’s name from Lâm Đình Khoa to “Lâm Đình Heo” with a prominent italic effect, leaving the owner feeling helpless: “Defeated, with a name like this I can’t do anything anymore. And with the italics, please, guys.”
In the comments, close friends expressed both sympathy and amusement at Rambo’s unfortunate situation. Not long ago, Masew – a musician streamer close to the Refund team led by Độ Mixi, also had his name changed multiple times by hackers, and is currently listed as “Facebook User.” He breathed a sigh of relief that his current name was not trolled as badly as his friend Rambo.
It remains uncertain how long this situation will last or if there will be more “unlucky” individuals, but one thing is for sure: this incident will significantly impact the work of famous streamers.
