On November 2nd, 2024 of last month, a popular VTUBER known as Camila, had a mysterious person try to kidnap or murder her. We don't know their whereabouts and their intention to Camila.
During the situation, VTUBERS would do meet-and-greets at conventions, some would meet in person with their face covered or others, like Ironmouse, interact with the fan through a screen with a camera attached so they can see them.
Camila did an in real life meet-and-greet with her face covered. People gave her gifts, talked to her, y'know, normal things? One person gave her a gift with one thing inside, a tracker. It was hidden inside of the gift. Poor Camila had no idea.
On November 1st, the day before the incident, Camila was streaming and heard a knock at her window. She looked out, and no one was there. She shook it and continued streaming.
The next day, Camila and a VTUBER that I don't know the of, were doing a collab. They were talking until Camila heard a knock outside her window, AGAIN, she looked out she saw a man with a sledgehammer, trying to get into her home. The police were called, and everything ended up okay.
A few days later, Camila was forced to move away from her childhood home for her own safety. She moved to another country and didn't announce where she was for her safety. She was talking with her chat, and her iPhone buzzed and began to doxx her full location. She started screaming, and you couldn't hear anything. It didn't repeat it again, thankfully.
One thing trackers could do is announce the location on an iPhone, pretty much only iPhones.
Stay safe, I guess. If you wanna be famous, be famous, but be careful.
