Twitch company data leaked and published online
Amazon-owned gaming company Twitch announced that company data had been leaked because of an error on one of the company’s servers. Analysts say the leak includes lots of company information. Twitch said it was investigating the leak but stressed that “full credit card numbers are not stored by Twitch, so full credit card numbers were not exposed”.
The leaked data has been published on the internet and has been estimated to be more than 100GB of data.
“We have learned that some data was exposed to the internet due to an error in a Twitch server configuration change that was subsequently accessed by a malicious third party. Our teams are working with urgency to investigate the incident”, the company said in a post.
“As the investigation is ongoing, we are still in the process of understanding the impact in detail. We understand that this situation raises concerns, and we want to address some of those here while our investigation continues.”
“At this time, we have no indication that login credentials have been exposed. We are continuing to investigate.”
