"Your private information remains secure" - Kick executive responds after claims of platform being hacked goes viral

A Kick executive has responded after claims of the platform being hacked recently went viral. For context, on February 13, 2024, an X user named @KickViewBot, or KVB, claimed to have discovered a "massive vulnerability" in the website's security. They alleged that they had access to sensitive information, including users' email addresses, passwords, payment information, account addresses, and password reset information, among other things.

KVB added that they had "no intention of selling or distributing" the data:

"I want to be very clear about this, I have no intention of selling, distributing, or leaking any of this information. I completely understand the seriousness of this. I simply want someone from Kick to message me, so we can fix this. Your data is at risk."

On February 14, 2024, the Stake-backed platform's Head of Product, Paulie, addressed the situation, claiming that the website does not store any unencrypted passwords. He also called KVB's post "100% fabricated":

"For the record, we do not store any passwords that are not encrypted. This is 100% fabricated and your private information remains secure."
