FalleN Hackers cracked the YouTube channel of the famous esportsman FalleN

In recent days, those who actively follow the esports news, root for their favorite teams, and bet on CS GO matches have witnessed how hackers managed to steal the YouTube channel of the famous esportsman.

This week, information has emerged on the internet that the official YouTube channel of the Brazilian CS:GO esportsman Gabriel Toledo, better known as FalleN, suffered from a hacking attack and was cracked. After which, the cracked channel broadcasted content about cryptocurrencies. In such a way, hackers tried to deceive subscribers of the Brazilian CS:GO star’s channel and to impose on them an advertisement of a fraudulent project. The live broadcast was watched by a few hundred viewers live.

As soon as FalleN found out that his channel had been hacked, he tried to return access to it. Also, he made a statement on social networks where he spoke about the situation and asked subscribers to ignore the information on his channel published by scammers. «My YouTube was hacked, I am trying to restore access. Be careful and do not trust what scammers are saying on live broadcasts on my channel», - FalleN said.

FalleN is one of the most famous esportsmen in the world who has achieved the highest results over many years of playing CS:GO. Those who have been watching his play and victories at tournaments on the website https://gg.bet/ru/counter-strike will agree with the statement that Gabriel Toledo enters the list of the best players in esports history. Due to his mastery, he achieved victories at large competitions many times, for which he became worldwide famous and received respect from fans, and also formed his fan army.

FalleN has more than 1,3 million subscribers on his YouTube channel and he uploads content almost every day. On his channel, he publishes videos, and gameplay clips with popular Brazilian streamers, and various guides, and also provides pieces of advice on how to become better in CS:GO. In the latest video released by FalleN, there was a mix of the best moments of the match between his team Imperial and 00 Nation. According to the information provided by the portal https://gg.bet/ru/counter-strike, Imperial prevailed in that match and made it through the qualification to the tournament ESL Pro League Season 17.

Fortunately, the hacker did not delete the materials uploaded by FalleN or publish any new videos. It would be very upsetting if the hacker (or a group of hackers) deleted all the content Gabriel Toledo was uploading to his channel for so many years. The godfather of the Brazilian Counter-Strike created the channel fallenINSIDER on October 11, 2011, at the times when he was playing Counter-Strike: 1.6. Gabriel’s channel achieved more than 206 million views in 11 years.

We do not know how the hacker received access to FalleN’s channel, however, we probably know the purpose of this action. Perhaps, the hacker planned to attract as many subscribers as possible to participate in a controversial crypto scam. Gabriel Toledo’s channel was a good platform to place such advertisements because FalleN is highly popular among esports fans. At the moment, the channel is blocked, so there are no broadcasts. It is unknown when FalleN succeeds in restoring access to his channel.

After the victory over 00 Nation, FalleN and Imperial practice a lot, so the new player Jhonatan "JOTA" Willian can get used to the team’s playstyle, and tactical tricks, and learn to work with teammates. It is worth reminding that JOTA has replaced the two-time Major champion, the Brazilian esportsman fer.
