Twitch, which is owned by Amazon, confirmed that it had been breached in October after an unknown entity released a trove of 128 GB of stolen data.

The breach included Twitch's complete source code. The company said that the incident was the result of a "server configuration change that allowed improper access by an unauthorized third party."

Twitch denied that passwords were exposed in the breach, but acknowledged that streamers' revenue information was stolen.

In addition to the source code itself and streamer payout data from as far back as 2019, the trove also contained information about internal Twitch Amazon Web Services systems and proprietary SDKs.
