The world’s most popular streaming platform, Twitch, owned by Amazon, was hacked recently; There was a massive 125GB data leak, including the top earners and their source code. While the identity of the attacker continues to be kept secret, Twitch is still trying to recover after the attack, which still has its effects.
Not bad for Twitch, too bad last week hackers recently replaced loads of background images with photos of Jeff Bezos.
The effect of the attack still continues
According to the news reported by The Verge, photos of Amazon’s founder and former CEO Bezos; It appeared in the directory listings of games such as GTA V, Minecraft and Dota 2. In the photos, it was noted that Bezos made the face of the “PogChamp” emote, which is very popular in Twitch chats.
What is surprising is that the same image also appeared in a 4chan post allegedly sent by the hacker who attacked Twitch. But when it comes to 4chan, it would be unwise to take everything you see seriously.
What happened?
It is unclear whether this change has anything to do with the security breach on the Amazon-owned streaming platform, which resulted in the leaking of more than 125GB of data and the platform’s source code.
Three years of payment information made to some of the most famous streamers streaming on Twitch were also among those leaked. Leaked payment information; It highlighted the huge earnings disparity among content creators on the platform.
In the background of all this, hundreds of Twitch publishers left the site in August to protest hate attacks, noting that the company has a weak attitude towards violence and abuse. Considering what happened to Facebook recently, we think it would be appropriate to say that this week has been quite heavy for social media platforms.
