Where there doesn't seem to be a report of user payment details being in the information posted publicly, passwords being openly on the internet leaves Twitch's users vulnerable to identity fraud regardless. When asked if two-factor authentication is safe, those who have looked through the data have responded that the leak doesn't seem to have that information, meaning that may be the best way for users to protect their information at this time. As people are shifting through what they've found of the leak, they're advising all Twitch users to go ahead and change their passwords, recommending them to activate two-factor authentication at least until everything dies down. The file in question is incredibly huge, around 125 GB in size, and requires time to go through. RELATED: Twitch Anti-Hate Raid Chat Changes Are Now Live

While people looked through the files in question, they found that the file includes Twitch's source code including early development comments, top streamer payout receipts, and even encrypted passwords. Supposedly in retaliation to Twitch's new anti-hate raid features, the entire platform has been hacked in immense detail, including sensitive user information.Īn anonymous user recently uploaded a torrent file to 4chan claiming to have hacked Twitch in its entirety.
While it may gather in viewers easily, the growth of its userbase has, unfortunately, resulted in problems like the "hate raids" situation.
As streaming grows with new content creators and viewers practically by the minute, Twitch has gathered quite a following as being one of the best places to watch fellow gamers stream their experiences.
