Quote:An anonymous hacker claims to have leaked the entirety of Twitch, including its source code and user payout information.
The user posted a 125GB torrent link to 4chan on Wednesday, stating that the leak was intended to “foster more disruption and competition in the online video streaming space” because “their community is a disgusting toxic cesspool”.
VGC can verify that the files mentioned on 4chan are publicly available to download as described by the anonymous hacker.
One anonymous company source told VGC that the leaked data is legitimate, including the source code for the Amazon-owned streaming platform.
Internally, Twitch is aware of the breach, the source said, and it’s believed that the data was obtained as recently as Monday. We’ve requested comment from Twitch and will update this story when it replies.
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)

You would expect a website owned by Amazon of all corporations to have shiz-hot security.
This week has been insane for social media websites and other websites alike.

That's quite a significant breach.
The hacker responsible would be feeling pretty confident, so I wouldn't be surprised If he'll target other entities on a large scale.

While most certainly big, did something revealing actually come from it i wonder. Haven't seen anything big. As for the revenue numbers its apparently the total amount before twitch subtracts their part

Twitch sent a notice out that they have reset everyone's stream keys. Hypothetically if you had the list of those, you could stream as anyone. They're still assessing the damage.
