Kyle Sandilands Claims Cyber Attack Hits Live Platform

Streaming Platform Targeted After Political Interviews

Sandilands asserted in a video published to his social media channels that his digital venture faced coordinated cyber bot interference. According to the broadcaster, the platform issues began roughly two weeks after he hosted conversations featuring federal politicians. “It all started since we started talking to Pauline and Barnaby the other week and it went on and on and on and on,” Sandilands alleged in his video. He stated that the platform encountered a “full attack from multiple countries and our own.” Sandilands provided no documentary proof or technical data to substantiate the cyber attack claims.

Context of the Political Discussions and One Nation Ties

The alleged digital attacks follow a series of broadcast segments where Sandilands expressed political support for Senator Hanson. In June, Sandilands told listeners of his network that he had spent time collaborating with Senator Hanson and her staff to help refine their public messaging following his departure from commercial radio. Last week, Sandilands described Senator Hanson on social media as “Australia’s most trusted politician” and called her one of his favourite people. However, One Nation staffer James Ashby clarified to media outlets that Sandilands was not officially employed by the political party, noting instead that Senator Hanson initiated contact with the broadcaster after his radio career hit turbulence.

Departure from ARN and Independent Venture Launch

The streaming platform launch follows Sandilands’ exit from his radio role at KIIS FM earlier this year. ARN agreed to pay the broadcaster $12m to terminate his remaining tenure on a 10-year $100m contract after an on-air dispute with former co-host Jackie “O” Henderson in February. Kyle Sandilands Live operates as a paid subscription service designed to bypass traditional radio restrictions. The network’s official social media caption defended the platform’s provocative format, stating that the channel handles unfiltered topics that other outlets avoid.
