Popular gaming streaming platform Twitch has been the victim of hacking. The hackers have released a list of various important information of the company and the income of the streamers. On Wednesday, 125 GB of data containing various information of Twitch was published online. (Source: BBC)

According to the data released, the top streamers have earned millions of dollars each from the Amazon-owned company for two years. Soon after discerning the hacking, the Twitch authorities started working on it immediately.
In a tweet, Twitch said they have started work on an emergency basis to identify the level of hacking. As soon as they get any new information about hacking, they will share it with the community.
BBG Calk, one of Twitch's streamers, stated the hackers' information matched the details of his earnings. Another streamer of the platform said that the details of his income have been fully disclosed in the published information.

According to the information published in an online forum, the data of the payments made from August and September 2019 to October this year has been disclosed. 

According to the leaked data, the platform's top streamers' earnings have been released, including the Danzi ones and Dragons channel Critical Roll, Canadian Exclusive, and American Summit 1G. Twitch is usually known for keeping its operations strictly confidential. The platform also keeps secret the number of payments made to the platform's streamers. As a result, this incident of hacking has become quite embarrassing for the platform.

And this comes at a time when rival companies such as YouTube Gaming are offering large sums of money to lure gaming talents. So analysts believe that this incident will be able to make a significant response. Meanwhile, those involved in the hacking claim that they have the source code of the video streaming platform.
The published information also shows the earnings of the streamers as well as the details of various technical information including the source code of the platform.
According to these technical details, some products and platforms are still awaiting official release. This disclosed information has been presented in such a way that some of its information seems to be at least credible and accurate. This information includes core configuration packages, developer tools, and a variety of data security data.
Technology experts say the information revealed through hacking contains some confidential information. For example, full details of the internal server.

Usually, only Twitch staff can access this information. If all the information published by hackers is correct, it would be the biggest hacking case ever. Through which the most important information of a company will be exposed one by one. After the hacking, Twitch acknowledged that some malicious third-party intrusions had occurred due to some errors in changing the platform's server configuration. However, Twitch said that these hackers could not get the information related to the login credentials. At the same time, they said, they were not able to reveal the credit card numbers of the users.
According to the streaming platform, the hackers only revealed some source code related to the company's streaming services, some unpublished streams of Amazon Game Studio, competitors, and payment details.
