Basically All Of Twitch Has Leaked

A hacker with an ax to grind has reportedly leaked basically the entirety of Twitch on 4chan, according to Video Games Chronicle.

The hacker said the 128GB leak was intended to "foster more disruption and competition in the online video streaming space" because "(Twitch's) community is a disgusting toxic cesspool."

The hack includes:

- The entirety of Twitch's source code, including comment history "going back to its early beginnings"
- 3 years of content creator payouts
- Source code for the mobile, desktop, and video game console Twitch clients.
- Code related to proprietary SDKs and internal AWS services used by Twitch.
- An unreleased Steam competitor codenamed 'Vapor' being developed by Amazon Studios
- "Every other property that Twitch owns," including IGDB and CurseForge
- Twitch's internal security tools

Twitch is aware of the security breach. An anonymous source to VGC said the company noticed the breach on Monday, coincidentally the same day as Facebook's hours-long outage.

Becuase the leak offered a look at some top streamers' revenue, several top names trended on Twitter, including Hasan Piker, who, as has already been confirmed, makes a considerable amount of money.

It's unclear how this will affect streamers and users of the app, but it is recommended that Twitch users turn on two-factor authentication in case users' passwords have been hacked.
