Game streaming site Twitch has been accessed by some unauthorised intruders including some of its user account information, according to the live streaming gaming network’s official blog.
Twitch confirmed the hack in a blog post on its website and says it is forcing all of its users to reset passwords as a result of the breach.
‘For your protection, we have expired passwords and stream keys and have disconnected accounts from Twitter and YouTube. As a result, you will be prompted to create a new password the next time you attempt to log into your Twitch account.’
Details have not been revealed by Twitch about the attack, but it appears as if the hackers may have breached the company’s website, stolen usernames and passwords and then logged in to users’ accounts to steal the rest of the information.
