The leaked Twitch data reportedly includes:

• The entirety of Twitch’s source code with comment history “going back to its early beginnings”
• Creator payout reports from 2019
• Mobile, desktop and console Twitch clients
• Proprietary SDKs and internal AWS services used by Twitch
• “Every other property that Twitch owns” including IGDB and CurseForge
• An unreleased Steam competitor, codenamed Vapor, from Amazon Game Studios
• Twitch internal ‘red teaming’ tools (designed to improve security by having staff pretend to be hackers)

Some Twitter users have started making their way through the 125GB of information that has leaked, with one claiming that the torrent also includes encrypted passwords, and recommending that users enable two-factor authentication to be safe.

So yeah this could be big. Change your password (and the passwords of any website where you use the same password and the same username/email) to be safe and turn on 2FA if you haven't.

Oh, wow…

Vapor is interesting

 

[WestEgg]

Well that’s not good.

 

[Irene]

Yikes.

Change passwords and enable 2FA ASAP !!

 

[CornyShiba]

Already had 2FA enabled, but still changed by password out of precaution. Every Twitch user should do the same.

Thats nuts, imagine something like this happening for actual Amazon and all their customers.

Password changed. I hope they don't discover my 5-6 bucks won in Twitch.

YIKES. Could something like this happen to Twitter?

 

[Falcatops]

Deleted my Twitch account, barely used it. Now I have to change passwords of a few other things

 

[FormatCompatible]

Jeeesus. Already had 2fa but just changed my password anyway.
