In an update regarding this month's security incident, Twitch downplayed the breach saying that it had minimal impact and only affected a small number of users.
"We've undergone a thorough review of the information included in the files exposed and are confident that it only affected a small fraction of users and the customer impact is minimal. We are contacting those who have been impacted directly," Twitch said.
"Twitch passwords have not been exposed. We are also confident that systems that store Twitch login credentials, which are hashed with bcrypt, were not accessed, nor were full credit card numbers or ACH / bank information," Twitch added.
Although Twitch hasn't revealed what servers were misconfigured, the unknown individual behind the leak said the data was allegedly stolen from roughly 6,000 internal Twitch Git repositories.
