Based on the statements made during the hacking of Destiny’s account, it’s unclear why the hackers are moving on to target Adin Ross. However, Ross is an incredibly controversial figure. In fact, the creator was permanently banned from Twitch for allowing hateful conduct in his chat.

Ross was temporarily banned several times before this final banning due to similar circumstances, including using hateful slurs and symbols while live on stream.
Ross also tweeted to President Joe Biden, asking him to “pardon Andrew Tate,” who was being detained in Romania for an investigation into human trafficking and organized crime.
It’s possible that the hackers are targeting Ross because of these hateful opinions, though no motive has officially been given. It’s also unclear if the threat is real, or if they even have the means to access his account. And if the statement given by Chianese is correct, then the hackers will need to look beyond Kick to find Ross’ credentials.
