Change your password!
Do you use Twitch? If so, change your password immediately, as the service has been badly "hacked"…
On the online message board 4Chan, a torrent of up to 125 GB of files has appeared, which is said to contain more or less the entire code of the Twitch web service - the service's entire executable code, including comments, payments to developers since 2019, executable code for desktop and mobile clients and consoles, an unreleased Vapor product, which is said to compete with Steam, encrypted passwords and more. Amazon, the owner of this largest online platform for e-sports and streaming games, knows about the "leaked" data, but there is no official response yet.
https://t.co/7vTDeRA9vt got leaked. Like, the entire website; Source code with comments for the website and various console/phone versions, references to an unreleased steam competitor, payouts, encrypted passwords that kinda thing. Might want to change your passwords.

And why would someone go “hack” an online eSports platform? The answer to this was given by the anonymous hacker himself. According to him, the Twitch community is a "disgusting toxic cesspool" and he wants to "cause more disruption while driving competition in the video streaming space." It sounds a bit… well, yes, but that's the way it is.
If you use Twitch, immediately change the access password, but it will not be superfluous if you also include two-step login.
