An anonymous hacker posted a 125GB torrent link on 4chan on Wednesday, reportedly containing payments to creators, Twitch source code, and an unreleased Steam competitor from Amazon Game Studios.
xQc LEAKES his Twitch ad revenue… 💀
The leak was originally posted on 4chan and contains several bits of information, according to VideoGamesChronicle (VGC). The leak is 125GB in size and contains a variety of information, including reports of creator payouts from 2019 and the full source code of Twitch, including comment history from the site's early days.
The leak also includes code for mobile, desktop, and console Twitch clients, as well as SDKs and internal AWS services used by Twitch. VGC says the leak also includes code for Vapor, a Steam competitor from Amazon Game Studios, information about all of Twitch’s properties, such as IGDB and CurseForge, and finally, internal tools that allow Twitch staff to pose as hackers to improve security.
However, the leak contains a lot of information and users are still working on it, so it’s unclear at this time exactly how much data is involved. The hacker has said that this is just the first piece of content that will be leaked, but has not indicated how or when they will release more data. We have reached out to Twitch regarding the leak and will update with any response we receive.
