Internet Relay Chat takeover facts for kids
A takeover in Internet Relay Chat is when someone who is not meant to be in control of a channel takes control. Several ways this can happen is by taking advantage of a net split, an event that occurs when one server disconnects from another, or by tricking an IRC bot into promoting the user to operator status. Once the user has operator status, they kick the other operators out or remove their operator status.
