On November 8, 2025, the YouTube channel for Hololive ID Vtuber Ayunda Risu was hacked by a crypto account and, following its recovery, was removed on November 10, 2025. Risu noted on social media that Cover is aware of the situation and working to get it reinstated. We don’t know when it will return.

On November 8, 2025, after the Ayunda Risu YouTube Channel was hacked, a video for Michael Saylor’s MicroStrategy company called “Bitcoin Crash Explained! Massive BTC Dump & What’s Next for Crypto” appeared on in the Live section on the channel for the Hololive Vtuber. You can see the screenshot of it on the official subreddit, where Pixel_Pastiche captured the moment. 

Cover quickly acted, and later that day the first statement appeared on Risu’s social media.

Ayunda Risu then poked fun at the crypto hack situation with a Nut Coin “conference” stream, complete with image that showed the Hololive Vtuber with the same sort of teaser image as the Michael Saylor’s MicroStrategy one. While she was able to hold that stream and did create and announce a Monday Morning Malas one, she later confirmed her channel was removed as a result of the situation.

Here’s that latest statement.

This isn’t the first time a crypto hack hit a Hololive Vtuber YouTube account. EN branch member Ouro Kronii was the victim of one in January 2025. Like Risu, she later joked about the situation once her channel was recovered with $KRONII. 

Hololive Vtuber Ayunda Risu’s YouTube channel is temporarily unavailable, and further updates will be available on social media. She’s been with the company since April 2020.
