A group of data miners was able to hack and leak the full Twitch site data, which came in the form of a file of up to 128 GB. Far from the fact that these leaks will of course do a great deal of harm to all Twitch users, whether they are viewers or content providers, the most important thing here is that these leaks leaked to us the amounts that content providers receive on the platform, which are giant amounts!
The breakthrough that occurred includes:
- Twitch's full database and updates from the beginning of the site so far
- Amounts charged by content providers between 2019 and now
- Details of pc copies and phones from the program
- All the services the platform has.
- Twitch internal tools that help the site protect against penetration
This is a list of the top 10 Twitch presenters who received funds between August 2019 and October 2021:
- Critical Role: Paid $9.6 million
- XQc: Charged $8.5 million
- Summit1g: Paid $5.8 million
- Tfue: Paid $5.3 million
- Nickmercs: Paid $5.1 million
- Ludwig: Paid $3.3 million
- TimTheTatman: Paid $3.3 million
- Altoar: Paid $3.1 million
- Auron Play: Paid $3.1 million
- Lirik: Paid $3 million
Here is a list of the top 50 content providers on Twitch who received funds during the period mentioned:
Of course, many content providers have expressed their displeasure with the leak and everyone is asking Twitch about this strange hack of the database.
Twitch's official account today posted an official tweet confirming the hack and confirming that they will share more details in the coming period.
Many Twitter users have begun searching files with a volume of more than 125 GB and confirmed that the files contain many accounts and passwords for all users, so here at Games Mix we advise you to change passwords to your accounts, and also do not forget to activate the two-Factor Authentication feature until you ensure the safety of your accounts from breaches.
The leak also confirms the existence of Vapor software developed by Amazon. This program will be a store whose main goal is to compete with Steam and Epic Games. The store will feature a range of innovative ideas that will help Twitch users further follow game developments and content providers. We'll also get a chat room inside this vapeworld store.
Bottom line
This is the biggest data leak in a very long time. Entire Twitch systems and company data and services have been leaked, but most importantly, user data and content providers' earnings are out in the open. That data was supposed to be kept secret for life, but it's clear that some hackers have outsmart Twitch security systems that need to be updated ASAP so this doesn't happen again!
