Twitch has recently suffered a massive hack that reportedly took the website's source code as well as years of creator payouts. An anonymous 4Chan poster put out 125GB of data from the video streaming service on Wednesday. The leak was intended to “foster more disruption and competition in the online video streaming space” because “their community is a disgusting toxic cesspool”.

According to VGC, a company source told them that the data that was leaked is legitimate. Not only that, but the data itself includes the source code for the streaming platform. Internally, Twitch is aware of the breach, the source said, and it’s believed that the data was obtained as recently as Monday.
