Free Fire YouTube channel, 'Two Side Gamers,' led by gaming enthusiasts Ritik Jain and Jash Dhokha, faced a malicious hacking incident. With a massive fan base of 12.5 million subscribers on YouTube and an additional 1.3 million followers on Instagram, the channel's popularity within the Indian gaming community is undeniable.

On the unfortunate day of 2nd January 2024, Two Side Gamers fell victim to a hacker who swiftly hijacked the channel to stream crypto-related content titled "Bitcoin ETF Will Send Price To $1 Million? Michael Saylor LIVE." Alarmed by this breach, the gaming duo sought assistance from YouTube via Twitter, reaching out to their vast online community.

Despite the prompt response from YouTube India after the tweet, the situation remains unresolved. As of now, Two Side Gamers' YouTube channel has been deleted, leaving fans and creators alike in suspense about the fate of the content they've worked tirelessly to produce.

The plea for help on Twitter, where Two Side Gamers implored, "Please Help me To Get My YouTube channel Back as We Have Worked Very Hard to Gain those 12.5M subscribers Need Your Support," garnered attention not only from fans but also from YouTube India.

Acknowledging the severity of the situation, YouTube India expressed sympathy with the following statement:

Taking immediate action, YouTube decided to take down the channel, citing a violation of their policy during the hacker's live stream. Unfortunately, this event is not an isolated incident in the YouTube gaming community. Renowned creators such as Mortal, Thug, Regaltos, Goblin, Aman, and more have previously faced similar hacking challenges, leading to temporary takedowns.

Drawing from past experiences, the collaboration between Two Side Gamers and YouTube India is anticipated to yield positive results, eventually restoring access to the channel. However, the timeline for this restoration process remains uncertain, adding an element of suspense to the ordeal.
