From [[October 2018]]-[[December 2018]], Chris's '''CWCSonichu [[Twitter]] account was compromised''' by a troll posing as [[Magi-Chan]] who [[Chris and manipulation|socially engineered]] him into giving his password. They would login and post tweets without his knowledge or consent. Some tweets which affirmed Chris's fantasies were kept up; others such as those leaking content from the [[Idea Guys]] would be swiftly deleted.

===Location stamps===
A tweet from 13 [[October 2018]], which posted fanart depicting [[Mewtwo]] with sexual overtones, was location stamped as being from Sydney, Australia. The tweet was quickly deleted.<ref>https://twitter.com/IsThanos/status/1051197297579704322 (archive: https://archive.ph/q0Wwv)</ref>

[[The Captain]] speculated that a VPN was used by "Magi-Chan" to tweet from CWCSonichu due to strange location stamps on some tweets. He reported that he asked Chris about it, and that "he didn't seem concerned about the location tag."<ref>https://kiwifarms.net/threads/random-chris-updates.23605/post-3860033</ref>

[[October 2018 social media posts#HELP!|Another tweet from 14 October 2018]] was stamped as being from Auckland, New Zealand.

On 14 October, Chris changed the CWCSonichu password and gave the new one to [[The Captain]], who logged in to check IP addresses, to find that the "Places I've Been" feature got switched off.<ref>https://kiwifarms.net/threads/twitter-10-14-magi-chan-tweets.48870/post-3863025</ref>

On 2 [[November 2018]], two more tweets were posted to CWCSonichu. The first was an exaggerated beg for money for Chris's kittens [[Liza, Patches and Sylvia]], who were ill - the tweet was tagged as being from New Zealand.<ref>[[:File:CWCSonichu 2 November 2018 kitten1.png]]</ref> Shortly after, another tweet was posted, alleging that [[Snoopy]] had killed one of the kittens, with an image of a cat corpse.<ref>[[:File:CWCSonichu 2 November 2018 kitten2.png]]</ref> A [[Kiwi Farms]] user claimed it was also tagged as being from New Zealand.<ref>https://kiwifarms.net/threads/twitter-11-2-kitties-are-sick-chris-lies-about-needing-funds.49578/post-3933520</ref> The tweets were quickly deleted.  The image of the cat corpse was traced as originating from an article on special effects in horror movies.<ref>https://www.dreadcentral.com/news/239471/exclusive-chatting-cg-horror-legion-vfx-co-founder-james-hattin/</ref>
