Hey everyone,

I wanted to give you all an update on why I haven’t been posting much lately. Unfortunately, my Twitter account, @ChanManStudios, was hacked on March 17, 2025, and I’ve been dealing with the fallout ever since. A scammer posing as an X Support member contacted me through another account, tricked me into sharing my screen via Discord, and used that to change my login details, locking me out completely. And trust me, I already hate myself for falling for what was an obvious scam.

I’ve been working with X Support to regain access, submitting tickets and providing evidence like screenshots of the scam DMs, but the process has been slow, and I’m still unable to log in. As of now, the scammer hasn’t posted anything publicly from my account, but I’m worried they might start targeting my followers with phishing attempts or misuse my account in other ways. Because of this, I won’t be posting anything for a while longer—likely until the issue is fully resolved, either by recovering my account or having it deactivated to stop the scammer.

If any of you can spare the time, I’d really appreciate your help. You can report @ChanManStudios as a hacked account through X’s Help Center (https://help.x.com/forms) under “Hacked or Compromised Account.” The more reports, the more likely X will act quickly. If you have other ideas for how to help—like spreading the word or contacting X Support on my behalf—I’m open to suggestions, but only if you have the time to assist. I’ve also created a temporary X account (@ChanManStudios2) to keep my followers updated, so you can follow me there for now.

I’m really sorry for the downer news, everyone. I hate that this has disrupted my ability to share my art and connect with you all, but I’m doing everything I can to get back to normal. Thank you for your understanding and support—it means a lot to me during this frustrating time.
