Seems like Twitch had a bit of a security hiccup.
In a recent Blog post, Twitch mentioned that some user account information may have been accessed by people who weren’t authorized to do so.
In a recent Blog post, Twitch mentioned that some user account information may have been accessed by people who weren’t authorized to do so.
There is no information yet on who those people were, but they could have gathered quite a bit of information from the affected accounts:
User names, eMail addresses, cryptographically protected passwords, last-used IP address and any other information that was provided to Twitch, like real names, phone numbers, addresses and the date of birth.
Ouch.
In a first response, Twitch expired every single password, stream key and connections to other accounts like YouTube and Twitter. So if you are an avid Twitch streamer, this should shake up your morning routine.
