Massive Twitch hack: Source code and payment reports leaked
2021-10-06 13:13

Twitch source code and streamers' and users' sensitive information were allegedly leaked online by an anonymous user on the 4chan imageboard.

The leaker shared a torrent link leading to a 120GB archive containing data allegedly stolen from roughly 6,000 internal Twitch Git repositories.

Various proprietary SDKs and internal AWS services used by Twitch.

The anonymous poster named his thread "Twitch leaks part one," which hints at further stolen Twitch data likely being leaked in the future.

The leak was likely a direct response to harassment raids targeting Twitch streamers in August, given that the anonymous leaker also used the #DoBetterTwitch hashtag.

A Twitch spokesperson was not immediately available for comment when BleepingComputer reached out earlier today.
