Popular Twitch streamer Guy “Dr Disrespect” Beahm is not immune to the toxic reach of hackers, as both his Twitch and his Twitter account were briefly hacked on Tuesday.
During a stream of Fortnite, viewers let Dr Disrespect know of some issues with his Twitter account, which prompted him to briefly step away from his live stream.
A Twitter user screenshotted some of the Tweets sent out while his account was compromised:

Later that day, he took to Twitter to confirm the hacks, and announce that he has taken back control of his accounts.
It was a simple sim card hack.
