A recent Twitch leak, however, just took it to a whole new level. As recently as Monday, an anonymous hacker just leaked the entire source code from Twitch, according to VGC.<br \/>\nThe hacker posted a 125GB torrent file to 4Chan<br \/>\nThe unknown hacker was able to breach Twitch\u2019s defenses and post a hefty 125GB file. This large file was then posted to 4Chan. Twitch confirms that this happened as early as Monday.<br \/>\nSources claim that the torrent file consists of the platform\u2019s source code, creator payout information from 2019, information on a Twitch competitor named Vapor, information on all of the properties that Twitch owns, internal \u2018red teaming\u2019 tools, Proprietary SDKs, and internal AWS services.<br \/>\nSome sources also state that people were able to find encrypted passwords amid the sea of data. Users should definitely change their passwords or enable two-factor authentication.<br \/>\nNeedless to say, having your login information out for the world to see isn\u2019t great. However, for the time being, there haven\u2019t been any reports of hacked accounts.<br \/>\nThe hacker leaked Twitch creator payout reports<br \/>\nOne of the more interesting talking points about this whole Twitch leak is the fact that the hacker uncovered how much people were being paid. They found that the top Twitch streamers made a hefty sum over the course of a few months.<br \/>\nThe top 81 streamers on the platform accrued millions of dollars since August of 2019, which is just about every streamer\u2019s goal. According to the report, Critical Role made more than $9 million since that date.<br \/>\nThe hacker sounds like a vigilante<br \/>\nThis didn\u2019t seem like it was a random attack for the fun of it. The hacker, though they\u2019re anonymous, did make a statement. They said that they leaked Twitch to \u201cfoster more disruption and competition in the online video streaming space.\u201d They went on to say, \u201ctheir community is a disgusting toxic cesspool.\u201d<br \/>\nClearly, the hacker has a vendetta against Twitch. Either they truly believe that the Twitch community is toxic and that doing so will help the world in some way, or they were burned by Twitch at some point and are exacting revenge.<br \/>\nEither way, this is bad news for the millions of users who use the platform on the daily. Right now, it seems that Twitch itself is at a bigger risk than its users, but this still shouldn\u2019t be taken lightly.<br \/>\nThe post A Hacker Just Leaked, Well, ALL Of Twitch appeared first on Android Headlines.&#013;<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Twitch-logo-image-1.jpg\" width=\"2400\" height=\"1600\">&#013;<br \/>\nSource: ndroidheadlines.com&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Large-scale information leaks from big companies happen all the time.
