Twitch also stated that there is “no indication” that any login credentials (including passwords) have been compromised. As a precaution, all streaming media keys have been reset and a link is provided to obtain new keys.
Hence, depending on the broadcast software used by the user, it may be required to manually update the software to start the new streaming media. Twitch Studio, Streamlabs, Xbox, PlayStation, and Twitch mobile App users do not need to do anything.
Moreover, an anonymous post on the message board published a 125GB seed file, which they carried the whole content of Twitch and its submission history.
