Broadcast journalist Anthony “Ka Tunying” Taberna expressed his disappointment over the hacking of his YouTube channel, Tune In Kay Tunying (TIKT), in the middle of this week.

All of TIKT’s original postings have been removed, and the channel, now with almost 800,000 subscribers, now bears the name Micro Strategy and has uploads about crypto solutions for business.

While Ka Tunying’s technical team initially managed to regain control of the channel and replaced the new profile picture, cover and link put in place by the group that seized it, they later discovered that the channel can no longer be searched on YT.

Moreover, Ka Tunying and his team do not anymore have administrative control over the channel as it has been disabled temporarily according to their YouTube partner.

The broadcaster has reported the unfortunate development to YouTube/Google, and as per the latest update, YouTube promised to fix the matter within three days. 

During the last few months, several fake excerpts of Ka Tunying’s interviews with billionaires and other VIPs were rapidly spreading on social media, implying that these individuals achieved massive success due to cryptocurrency.

Ka Tunying has repeatedly advised his YT subscribers and FB followers not to be lured by these fake interviews, clearly aimed at getting crypto followers.

But the crooks took the deception to another level. They hacked Ka Tunying’s YT channel where he premiered his bi-monthly digital newscast “Tune In Kay Tunying, Live!” and other educational, inspiring and funny stories and commentaries.

While extremely saddened by the hacking incident, Ka Tunying vowed to continue creating meaningful and informative content to be posted on his page, Anthony Taberna, as well as on their news page, Ang Totoong News or ATN, both on Facebook.

The news icon hopes to retrieve his YT channel, which has been thoroughly built through the years, and for the evil minds behind the hacking incident to be dealt with accordingly.
