According to the company, a serious data breach occurred on Twitch, which was caused by incorrect configuration changes on the company's servers. A Twitch spokesperson confirmed on Twitter that someone had hacked. "Our employees are working around the clock to determine the full scope of the problem. Once new information becomes available, we will definitely share it with the community.

Due to "the configuration of the Twitch server was modified incorrectly and was later accessed by a malicious third party", Twitch admitted that data that was unintentionally exposed on the Internet had been destroyed. According to the company, "there is no evidence to disclose" the login password and "the complete credit card details are not disclosed." The company claimed.

So far, the source code of the company's streaming media service, Amazon Game Studios Steam competitors, and information about creator compensation have been exposed by hackers. A 125GB torrent uploaded by an unknown member on the 4chan message board earlier today claimed to contain all content related to Twitch and its submission history.

The first part of the leak has been marked, which means there will be more leaks. Passwords, email addresses, and Twitch user addresses are not included in the initially leaked sensitive information (such as creator payments). Twitch's own tools and information, rather than the codes containing personal accounts, seem to be the focus of the leaker.

Even so, it is not clear how much data was accessed. It seems that some Twitch users have been asked to reset their passwords, and the company claims that it is currently investigating a security incident. Twitch also re-entered all the stream keys previously associated with the service. For security, Twitch has reset all streaming keys. This is what the company said in its email to users.

Although Twitch is currently investigating the matter and claims that if you have not done so, it will not disclose any login information, but we strongly recommend that you do so.

In the long run, the Twitch vulnerability will have a negative impact on game streaming services, especially for creators who rely on Twitch to protect their financial interests and personal data from prying eyes. For weeks, Twitch users have been calling for better service through the hashtag #DoBetterTwitch. On the other hand, the Twitch anchor skipped a whole day in August to protest the company's failure to take action against hate attacks.
