Threats Against Twitch Headquarters Prompt Police Investigation
We were made aware of a threat against our San Francisco HQ on Tuesday," a Twitch rep told Business Insider. "And have been working directly with law enforcement as they investigate. The safety and security of our employees is our top priority, and we are focused on ensuring this is resolved quickly and safely.
According to SFPD public information officer Adam Lobsinger, the investigation that took place was able to determine that the threat received on August 7th was "identical to a threat received on yesterday's date." The message that was sent to Twitch on Wednesday was followed up by another that stated "The threat is real." This, of course, prompted Twitch to suggest that their employees stayed at home while the police conducted their investigation.
By the time afternoon rolled around on the 7th, the SFPD was able to determine that there was not an "active threat" at the time, and that the investigation has been handed off to the SFPD's special investigations department. Considering the tension that has been rising in the US recently, it is important for a company such as Twitch to take any threat such as these seriously as to not endanger any of their employees.
According to Lobsinger, the SFPD does not have a suspect at this time.

Wow really, Why would you even threaten a big company like that cos you just know when you get caught, and you will, you are going down for it or getting hit with a bill.

uphroahia This is pretty crazy and I hope it's not a real threat...
In most states if you get hit with terrorist threats you can get a longer sentence than if you did the actual crime. Ain't that some shit..
