In what could be one of the biggest high-profile site hacks that we have seen, the entirety of the game streaming platform Twitch's webpage has been reportedly leaked online.
Reported by Video Game Chronicles (VGC), an anonymous hacker has apparently managed to rip the twitch.tv website. He posted a torrent link comprising 125GB worth of data, which also includes information on creator payouts, code for mobile, desktop and console clients, SDKs used by the company, data on other Twitch properties and info on an unreleased Steam competitor called Vapor, in development at Amazon Game Studios.

There has been no official confirmation on the leak by Amazon or Twitch so far, but if you are a member of Twitch, it is highly recommended you change your passwords just in case and enable two-factor authentication.
To do so, click on your profile picture on the top right while logged in, then select settings. Then, click on the Security and Privacy tab and you should see the options to change password and edit your two-factor authentication settings.
