The editor-in-chief of Orda.kz Gulnar Bazhkenova reported a hacker attack on the YouTube channel ORDA News on the night of November 9. «They wanted to hijack it, they didn’t get to it, but they managed to ban me as a minor on Google. Mailboxes are all banned, the system shows a message — you’re too young to have a Google account. It’s really funny if it wasn’t so sad», — Bazhkenova wrote in her Telegram channel.
