If you weren’t aware, an unidentified hacker has leaked the whole of Twitch (source code, userbase payout data) uploading a 125GB torrent link to 4chan on Wednesday, the Hacker said that the leak was meant to “encourage more disruption and competition in the online video streaming space” because “their community is a disgusting toxic cesspool”.

Experts verified that the files on 4chan are publicly available to download as specified by the unknown hacker. Many Sources specify that all the data from the Twitch AWS are legitimate. 

Internally, Twitch is conscious of the breach, a source said, and it’s believed that the data was obtained as recently as Monday and they have verified that the leak is authentic. 

The leaked Twitch data reportedly includes:

• The entirety of Twitch’s source code with commit history “going back to its early beginnings”
• Creator payout reports from 2019
• Mobile, desktop, and console Twitch clients
• Proprietary SDKs and internal AWS services used by Twitch
• “Every other property that Twitch owns” including IGDB and CurseForge
• An unreleased Steam competitor, codenamed Vapor, from Amazon Game Studios
• Twitch internal ‘red teaming’ tools (designed to improve security by having staff pretend to be hackers)

Some Twitter users have started making their way through the 125GB of information that has leaked, with one claiming that the torrent also includes encrypted passwords, and recommending that users enable two-factor authentication to be safe.

The leaked records purportedly show that famous streamers like Shroud, Nickmercs, and DrLupo have earned millions from working with the streaming platform. Although, it doesn’t include funds that streamers have gained outside of Twitch, including merchandise, YouTube revenue, sponsorships, and external donations. 

Despite this caveat, the list shows that 81 Twitch streamers have been paid more than $1 million by Twitch since August 2019. The anonymous leaker has also stated that this is just the first part of the content due to be leaked but hasn’t stated what they plan to also release. 

The torrent also reportedly includes Unity code for a game called Vapeworld, which appears to be chat software based on Amazon’s unreleased Steam competitor Vapor. Meanwhile, Vapor, the codename for an alleged in-development Steam competitor, is claimed to integrate many of Twitch’s features into a bespoke game store. 

One cyber security expert said on Wednesday that, if fully confirmed, the Twitch hack “will be the biggest leak I have ever seen”.
