Twitch has Confirmed the Data Breach

A hacker reportedly posted a torrent link to 125 GB of data on the 4chan website claiming it to contain Twitch internal data including the site’s source code. These files were publicly available to download. After some time Twitch officially confirmed this data breach and started the investigation.

Here’s what twitch stated on their website.

We have learned that some data was exposed to the internet due to an error in a Twitch server configuration change that was subsequently accessed by a malicious third party. Our teams are working with urgency to investigate the incident.

As the investigation is ongoing, we are still in the process of understanding the impact in detail. We understand that this situation raises concerns, and we want to address some of those here while our investigation continues.

At this time, we have no indication that login credentials have been exposed. We are continuing to investigate.

Additionally, full credit card numbers are not stored by Twitch, so full credit card numbers were not exposed.
