An anonymous hacker has claimed to have leaked the entirety of Twitch, including its source code, user payout information, and encrypted passwords.
As reported in VGC, the hacker posted a 125GB torrent link to the online forum 4chan this morning (October 6) with the intent to “foster more disruption and competition in the online video streaming space” because “their community is a disgusting toxic cesspool”.
According to the 4chan post, the leak reportedly includes the following:
- Entirety of Twitch.tv, with comment history “going back to its early beginnings”
- Creator payout reports dating back to 2019
- Mobile, desktop and console Twitch clients
- Various proprietary SDKs and internal AWS services used by Twitch
- An unreleased Steam competitor, codenamed Vapor, from Amazon Game Studios
- Every other property that Twitch owns including IGDB and CurseForge
- Twitch internal ‘red teaming’ tools (designed to improve security by having staff pretend to be hackers)
