Twitch got hacked, change your passwords
|
source
since, according to the sources, the attacker also got the encrypted passwords it's highly recommended to change them and switch to 2 factor authentication. age and treachery will triumph over youth and skill!

" Hmmm that article is blatantly misrepresenting what the screenshot is showing - those are database login credentials in plain text and not as it claims an email address & password. A bit daft to have them hardcoded into a script but that's just scaremongering to say it shows a users email address & password. Last edited by Randall#0850 on Oct 14, 2021, 8:22:36 AM

" Sorry I didn't mean you are scaremongering - the people who wrote that article are, they should know better. I see a lot of people corrected them in the comments lol Last edited by Randall#0850 on Oct 14, 2021, 8:28:30 AM

" well, if i spread info without proof reading, i'm part of the fearmongering chain ;) thanks for pointing to the comments, question is if they really got any user credentials or not. if they got the db login data from the stolen source code it's just natural that they also dumped the respective databases i guess. age and treachery will triumph over youth and skill!

" what makes it dangerous, is, that people probably use the same email/password for both accounts (poe+twitch). so far, ggg hasn't locked all poe player accounts who followed their agenda of linking their twitch and poe accounts (so amazon can sell their gaming habits to insurances :) with the requests to change their passwords. age and treachery will triumph over youth and skill!
