Sorry - this page has been removed. Twitch hack: Amazon gaming site says user details may have been stolen
(2 months later)
This could be because it launched early, our rights have expired, there was a legal issue, or for another reason. Amazon Twitch unit has warned of “possible unauthorised access” to some user account information on the live-stream gaming network.
Twitch said it had expired passwords and stream keys, and disconnected accounts from Twitter and YouTube to protect the users. In an official blogpost, Twitch administrators continued:
For further information, please contact: You will be prompted to create a new password the next time you attempt to log into your Twitch account.
We also recommend that you change your password at any website where you use the same or a similar password. We will communicate directly with affected users with additional details.
Sincerely,
Twitch Staff
Amazon bought Twitch Interactive last year for $970m, beating out a rival bid from Google.
