Stream keys are vitally important codes that are essential for streamers to access their accounts on different platforms. While Kick has seen a rapid rise in popularity, with many calling it a worthy rival to websites such as Twitch and YouTube, the Stake-owned platform is still relatively new. In regards to that, co-founders frequently talk about needing time to better their platform.

Well, it seems some hackers have found a way to bypass their security and get a hold of stream keys belonging to big creators on the platform, considering Destiny is one of the foremost streamers on the website. One of the hackers during the incident even asked people to donate money for him to take off his shirt, while another openly announced the next streamer they target would be Adin Ross.
