Twitch appears to have suffered a devastating hack, with source code for the streaming platform for gamers having apparently been dumped online. Data from 6,000 internal GitHub repositories belonging to the Amazon-owned platform has found its way into the public domain. The names of some of the repositories may indicate the hackers entered through insecure legacy software, a cybersecurity expert told Tech Monitor.

A torrent containing 128GB worth of data purporting to be from Twitch was posted on 4chan bulletin board, which is popular with hackers, earlier today. Files analysed so far have included Twitch’s source code, as well as an unreleased Steam competitor from Amazon Game Studios, codenamed Vapor (Steam is an online platform for buying and playing games), and creator payouts from 2019 to the present day. These figures appear to contain the payment details of up to 2.4m streamers.
