There has never been any evidence that it is possible to "hijack" someone's MHUR account. The only other such claim, which was like 6-8 months ago, was also made by Taz.
The issue he referenced where users lost access to their accounts and had to email Bandai to get it fixed was due to hacking, but was not an instance of "hacked accounts." ToxSylph (or whoever, but that was the culprit everyone settled on) used an exploit to overflow the like counter of the victims' profiles high enough that attempting to load the profile caused the game to throw an error. This prevented other users from being able to view the victims' profiles, and prevented the victims from being able to log in at all (because logging in would attempt to load their profile, run into the error, and return to the title screen.)
Bandai fixed it by resetting the victims' like counters for that season to 0, and I've never heard of it happening after that season, so I expect the exploit was patched.
I don't think there's anything to this.
This smells to me like either he legitimately got caught hacking and had to manufacture a "No, actually it was my brother playing on my account!" story to save face, or he saw the clip of someone impersonating him and thought "How can I blow this up into a story that I can milk for views?" as Taz is a notorious clickbaiter.
