The company just came out and announced that a server configuration change led to the leak. It also gives us some information to reassure worried users.<br \/>\nTwitch had its source code and a bunch of other information leaked on 4Chan<br \/>\nIn case you don\u2019t know what happened, Twitch had a massive data leak earlier this week. An unknown hacker was able to bypass the company\u2019s defenses and steal its source code.<br \/>\nThey were also able to take information on an Amazon Steam competitor named Vapor, information on all of the properties that Twitch owns, internal \u2018red teaming\u2019 tools, Proprietary SDKs, and internal AWS services. One user even reported that there were encrypted passwords stolen.<br \/>\nOne of the bigger bits of stolen information was Twitch payout information for a bunch of creators. These reports date back to August of 2019, and they show just how much the top creators are making. They show that a lot of them have earned millions in just the past two years.<br \/>\nTwitch said that the reason why the information was leaked was because of an error due to a server configuration change. Whether that\u2019s true or not, it certainly sounds a lot better than \u201cWe have weak defenses, that\u2019s why we were hacked.\u201d<br \/>\nThough this data leak is massive, Twitch has at least some good news<br \/>\nNow, Twitch is scrambling to get everything on track at the moment, and it released an update about the state of things. The company said that it didn\u2019t receive any reports of login information being stolen. This is good because that\u2019s what\u2019s worrying people the most about this whole ordeal.<br \/>\nNo one wants their accounts up for grabs, especially if Twitch is their prime source of income. Regardless, it\u2019s still recommended that you change your login information, because the story could be very different.<br \/>\nTwitch also said that credit card information shouldn\u2019t have been spilled in the massive data leak. Full credit card numbers are not held on the Twitch servers, so people should hopefully be safe in that regard. You should still keep an eye on your credit cards, watch your bank accounts, and contact your bank just to be safe.<br \/>\nTwitch reset everyone\u2019s stream keys<br \/>\nAs an added safety measure, Twitch went and reset everyone\u2019s stream keys and gave a link to change it. If you use Twitch Studio, Streamlabs, Xbox, Playstation, or mobile, you won\u2019t need to take any action. If you use OBS, then it\u2019s recommended that you change your stream key.<br \/>\nThe post Twitch Blames 'Server Configuration Change&#8217; For Massive Data Leak 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-1-1.jpg\" width=\"2400\" height=\"1600\">&#013;<br \/>\nSource: ndroidheadlines.com&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Twitch is in the midst of cleaning up after an absolutely massive data leak happened earlier this week.
