Data Breach of Twitch Streaming Service Confirmed

What Happened?
The Twitch streaming service has confirmed a data breach, which reportedly includes their source code, creator payouts, and possible leak of users' passwords. Read more. https://www.theverge.com/2021/10/6/22712250/twitch-hack-leak-data-streamer-revenue-steam-competitor


What should I do about it?
Twitch users are urged to change their passwords as a preventative measure. This information, if exposed, could lead to other vulnerabilities putting personal information at risk. These customers could be targeted with spam, phishing attempts, identity theft, and more.
