Twitch released an update to the massive hack that appears to have revealed the source code, band payment date, and other information. It states that the data was posted on the Internet "due to an error in the configuration of the Twitch server which was then accessed by a malicious third party". He added that his team was "immediately" working to investigate the attack.
Streaming site Amazon added that there was "no indication" that all credentials, including passwords, had been disclosed. "Also, Twitch does not store full credit card numbers, so full credit card numbers are not disclosed," the company said.
Twitch also says that "out of caution we rearranged all stream buttons" and provided a link to get a new one. Depending on the broadcast software you are using, you may need to manually update the software to start a new stream. "Twitch Studio, Streamlabs, Xbox, PlayStation, and Twitch Mobile App users don't need to take any action to get their new keys to work," he said. "OBS users who have linked their Twitch accounts should also not take any action."
However, if you haven't linked your OBS account to Twitch, you'll need to manually copy and paste the stream from the Twitch dashboard into OBS. "Everyone, please read the specific instructions for setting up the software of your choice."
Yesterday the attackers said they had stolen "everything from Twitch.tv," including the Twitch mobile, desktop and console clients on the website. It also gains access to patented SDKs and built-in AWS services, red tools tools, and more. All of this information could make Twitch vulnerable to future attacks by allowing potential hackers to explore vulnerabilities.
The leak also shows millions of payouts to streamers like xQc, Nickmercs, and Shroud. Some confirm the accuracy of the figures.
According to Twitch, an investigation is ongoing. "We are still in the process of understanding the implications in detail," the company wrote.
