We are writing to let you know that there may have been unauthorized access to some Twitch user account information...
The horror of knowing that other people had access to something you've built a career on... it can be truly nerve-wreaking. However, cyber breaches in this age and time is not exactly uncommon... the real mystery is the "why". We'll keep you guys updated on what Twitch has investigated on the breach. Stay tuned.
Here's the email that Twitch has sent to all Twitch users who has recently logged into the site.
We are writing to let you know that there may have been unauthorized access to some of your Twitch user account information, including possibly your Twitch username and associated email address, your password (which was cryptographically protected), the last IP address you logged in from, limited credit card information (card type, truncated card number and expiration date), and any of the following if you provided it to us: first and last name, phone number, address, and date of birth.
PLEASE NOTE: Twitch does not store or process full credit or debit card information, so your card number is safe.
For your protection, we have expired your password and stream keys. In addition, if you had connected your account to Twitter or YouTube, we have terminated this connection.
You will be prompted to create a new password the next time you attempt to log into your Twitch account. If applicable, you will also need to re-connect your account to Twitter and YouTube, and re-authenticate through Facebook, once you change your password. We also recommend that you change your password at any other website where you use the same or a similar password.
We apologize for this inconvenience.
The Twitch Team
If you use the same password for any of your other sites, particularly those that you've linked to Twitch, you should change the password as well... just in case.
For more information, you can also read the statement that Twitch has released here.
