Amazon’s live-streaming platform Twitch recently fell victim to a major leak that exposed the site’s source code, top streamer’s earnings, and more. The company acknowledged the leak, stating: “We have learned that some data was exposed to the internet due to an error in a Twitch server configuration change that was subsequently accessed by a malicious third party. Our teams are working with urgency to investigate the incident.”
Techspot reports that the Amazon-owned live-streaming platform Twitch has blamed a “malicious third party” for the recent massive leak of the website’s data. Data leaked included the entire source code of the service as well as the earnings of many of the platform’s top streamers.
A link to a 125GB torrent containing the data was posted to 4Chan earlier this week, with the user posting it stating that they aimed to “foster more disruption and competition in the online video streaming space” because “their community is a disgusting toxic cesspool.”
The leak is alleged to be “part one” of more to come and included source code for the website, comment history as far back as 2019, clients, proprietary SDKs and AWS services, a VR Chat game, and an unreleased Steam game client competitor called Vapor that was being developed by Amazon Game Studios.
