Over the weekend, news broke out about Africa’s most influential YouTuber Wode Maya losing his YouTube account to hackers. Fans and subscribers of the influential YouTuber took to social media tagging the YouTube support team to help in retrieving the YouTube account of Wode Maya which has over 1.2 million subscribers.
The account was hacked and the name was changed to MicroStrategy, a cryptocurrency company owned by billionaire Michael J Saylor. The hacker upon getting hold of the channel began streaming live fundraising content and moved all videos of Wode Maya to private and changed the banner as well. While all this was ongoing Wode Maya was nowhere to be found on social media and his phone was also switched off according to close friends.
The channel was later terminated for violating the YouTube partnership program. The YouTube support team responded to some Twitter users and gave them guidelines the channel owner should follow to gain back his channel which Wode Maya did. The channel has been restored and is fully functional now.
He uploaded a new video detailing what he was going through when the channel got hacked and terminated. According to Wode Maya, he didn’t bathe for two days because he was so confused and didn’t know what to do, he also switched off his phone because the calls were too many. The new video on his YouTube channel has gathered over 190 plus videos in the last 24 hours.
