Twitch duo "TheSerfs" allegedly banned for sharing leaked information

The streaming duo "TheSerfs" have received a 30-day suspension

Amazon owned game streaming platform Twitch was hit by a massive breach recently, following which tons of information was posted online.

Twitch streamer revenues, code base for the desktop and console clients, SDKs and a lot more were packaged into a 125GB torrent that was put online and made available to download by an anonymous hacker.

Following the leak, a lot of streamers have talked about the information and some have even brought up the "do not ban" list and "strike guides" that were part of the leak.

Twitch has apparently not taken too kindly to this and has been giving streamers suspensions for talking about private information.

Now Twitch streaming duo, "TheSerfs" appear to be latest who have received the ban hammer, receiving a suspension of 30 days on their account.

Got a 30 day suspension on Twitch - longest I've ever gotten. Closest I can muster to an explanation was reporting on the Twitch leak and showing that tweet that had a handful of the top earners salaries on display.
