As of now, the hackers have not issued any statements or posted any inappropriate content, unlike the incident involving Royal Media’s Citizen TV last year, where hackers went live after gaining access to their accounts.
In that instance, a group associated with a digital currency called Cryptocurrency took control of the channel, which had over three million subscribers, renaming it Ethereum (US) and streaming discussions about digital currency, much to the surprise of Citizen TV’s online viewers.
