Now, as revealed by VGC, an anonymous hacker assures have accessed the Twitch database, which includes the massive leak of the source code and the payment data of the users. The medium does not assure that the content is real, but indicates that it does seem legitimate. On the other hand, a source has told VGC that everything filtered is real.
Among the details that have come to light, we find the following:
- The Twitch source code full.
- The profit generated by content creators since 2019.
- Console, mobile and PC versions of Twitch.
- AWS development kit and services used by Twitch.
- The code code Vapor, a unannounced platform from Amazon Game Studios as a competitor to Steam.
