As cyber-crime continues to flourish in the online world, Twitch has become the latest victim of a hacking attack. Hackers have leaked a torrent containing 128GB of sensitive information not meant for the public eye, reports The Verge, and has labelled it “part one”.

Twitch in trouble

As with most dubious internet dealings, an anonymous user posted the torrent to a 4chan messaging board, intending to “foster more disruption and competition in the online video streaming space”. If disruption is what you want, airing out 128GB+ of dirty laundry is certainly the way to do it.

According to The Verge, the torrent has leaked the platform’s internal security tools; code for Twitch’s SDK and AWS service; source code for the mobile, desktop and console version of the streaming platform; data on other Twitch entities, such as IGDB; and an apparent Amazon Game Studios-headed Steam competitor.

Calling the torrent “part one” also implies that there will be more leaks to follow this one.

People digging into the torrent say there may be a chance that user information could also have been leaked, which could compromise user security information. To be safe, if you’re a regular user, you might want to update your passwords and enable 2FA. Just to be safe.

Twitch has come under fire repeatedly from its community over its poor response to rampant ‘hate raids’ that target and harass other streamers, prompting the #DoBetterTwitch movement, and a day of protest from some of its biggest creators. The hacker says this leak is at least in part in reaction to the platform’s poor handling of the recent surge in harassment.
