“Out of an abundance of caution, we have reset all stream keys,” says an email to all Twitch streamers.
Twitch has also reset all stream keys on its service.
Twitch says it’s still working to understand its security breach, and it appears that some users are being asked to change their passwords.
It’s not clear how much data has been accessed, though. Instead, the leaker appears to have focused on sharing Twitch’s own company tools and information, rather than code that would include personal accounts. While personal information like creator payments is included, this initial leak doesn’t appear to include passwords, addresses, or email accounts of Twitch users. The leak has been labeled as “part one,” suggesting that there could be more to come. Thank you for bearing with us.- Twitch October 6, 2021 We will update the community as soon as additional information is available. Our teams are working with urgency to understand the extent of this. An anonymous poster on the 4chan messaging board released a 125GB torrent earlier today, which they claim includes the entirety of Twitch and its commit history. Hackers have so far leaked data that includes source code for the company’s streaming service, an unreleased Steam competitor from Amazon Game Studios, and details of creator payouts. Twitch admits a hacker was able to access data that was mistakenly exposed to the internet “due to an error in a Twitch server configuration change that was subsequently accessed by a malicious third party.” The company says it has “no indication that login credentials have been exposed,” and that “full credit card numbers were not exposed.” We will update the community as soon as additional information is available.” “Our teams are working with urgency to understand the extent of this. “We can confirm a breach has taken place,” says a Twitch spokesperson on Twitter. Twitch has confirmed that it has suffered a major data breach, and that a hacker accessed the company’s servers thanks to a misconfiguration change.
