Popular gaming YouTuber Scott "The Woz" Wozniak has been hacked by an account promoting hacking software.

The hack appears to have been done by the person behind an account called "Yaris." At the time of writing Wozniak's entire timeline has been deleted save for the hacker's messages, with the first one advertising a hacking software called "Tw33ter."

The hacker went on to post nonsensical messages that included racist and homophobic slurs as well as invites to various Discord servers.

Woz fans were quick to encourage reporting the account, with several users leaving detailed instructions on how to bring the hack to the attention of Twitter. Others left messages of support.

This sounds weird, but I fully support mass reporting the guy behind hacking Scott Wozniak

Dude, doing that, saying you will be "moral" (bullshit), and then using FUCKING racial slurs, is the sign of a shitty, pathetic human, who wants nothing, but all the attention he can get.

The incident is yet another high-profile hack in a year that's been full of them. In July of 2020, a teen was able to hack major accounts including those of Kanye West, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden to scam people out of Bitcoin.
