YouTube gamer Sam aka xJawz became a victim of a Twitter hack today when someone took control of his account and posted links to YouTube creator LS’s channel and other seemingly random messages.

The Twitter hack is the latest incident involving the YouTuber known for teaching “Call of Duty” tips and trick to his 929,000 subscribers. xJawz went public two weeks ago with a YouTube video claiming that his social media accounts had been hacked and said that it had happened three or four times before.

xJawz went back on Twitter this afternoon and explained in his tweet that the situation was finally under control:

Guys calm down finally got my twitter back

— Sam (@xJawz) January 28, 2013

The tweets made during this morning’s hack have since been deleted.
