Millions of users, who are busy with the video game world and live broadcasts, encountered an unexpected event yesterday. Twitch, one of the most popular live broadcasting platforms in the world, was hacked literally to the bone. The hackers managed to leak users’ data as well as the codes of Twitch’s sources. Now the expected statement from Twitch has come.
Twitch management, which had to make a statement upon hearing of the incident, confirmed the hacking allegations at first hand. The company said in its first statement that they are working on the issue and that they will continue to convey information. Now, that information transfer has been made, albeit partially. Thus, at least a few question marks that worried users were removed.
Credit card information is safe
In the official statement made on Twitch’s official blog page, it was stated that an error was made during a work carried out on the servers and the data was made available to the internet, which ignited the hacking process. Stating that the studies are continuing, but according to the first findings, there is no indication that the data of the users has been leaked, the authorities also set up comforting sentences about credit cards. According to Twitch, since all the information of the registered credit cards of the users is not available in the system, there is no problem with the security of the credit cards.
Hacking of Amazon’s live streaming platform has revealed a striking detail. So much so that the company was developing a game platform to rival Steam. Coded as Vapor, this platform attracted attention with its ability to allow games to be integrated with Twitch.
