An unknown leaked the source code and business της video streaming πλατφόρμας Twitch μέσω ενός αρχείου torrent που δημοσιεύτηκε στο 4chan νωρίτερα σήμερα.

The torrent contains 128 GB files. The torrent contains:

  • The whole Twitch.tv from the beginning of the foundation of the platform
  • Twitch clients for mobile, desktops and consoles
  • Various proprietary SDKs and internal AWS services used by Twitch
  • Any other property owned by Twitch, including IGDB and CurseForge
  • An unreleased Steam competitor from Amazon Game
    Twitch SOC internal red teaming tools
  • and: Payment reports of the creators of Twitch from 2019 until today, so you can find out how much your favorite streamer earns!

Among the data, there are folders containing information about the control mechanisms of Twitch, management tools and data from Twitch's internal security team, such as white-boarded threat models that describe various parts of Twitch's backend infrastructure.

So far it has not been reported that any personal information of any Twitch user has been leaked, however the leak contained payments for the platform's top streamers, as we mentioned above.

This data reports the monthly revenue for some of the platform's biggest streamers, some of which reach six figures.

The leak, however, is referred to as "part one", indicating that more data will be leaked at some point.

Although no user data was found in the leak, many ασφαλείας προτρέπουν τους χρήστες να αλλάξουν κωδικούς πρόσβασης και να ενεργοποιήσουν κάποια λύση ελέγχου ταυτότητας πολλαπλών παραγόντων στον λογαριασμό τους.
