Twitch resets user passwords following hack
Twitch has sent emails to users it believes were affected by this hack, and revealed a few more details in the process.
“We are writing to let you know that there may have been unauthorized access to some of your Twitch user account information, including possibly your Twitch username and associated email address, your password, the last IP address you logged in from, limited credit card information (card type, truncated card number and expiration date), and any of the following if you provided it to us: first and last name, phone number, address, and date of birth,” reads the email.
“PLEASE NOTE: Twitch does not store or process full credit or debit card information, so your card number is safe.
“While we store passwords in a cryptographically protected form, we believe it’s possible that your password could have been captured in clear text by malicious code when you logged into our site on March 3rd.”
