Passwords, login credentials, full credit card numbers and
bank details of users were not accessed or exposed in the breach, Twitch said
in a statement.
The platform, which is used by video gamers for interacting
with users while live streaming content, had blamed the breach on an error in
the server configuration change.
Server configuration changes are performed during server
maintenance. A faulty configuration can expose the data stored in the servers
to unauthorized access.
Twitch said it was "confident" the incident
affected only a small number of users and that it was contacting those who had
been directly impacted. The platform has more than 30 million average daily
visitors.
Video Games Chronicle had reported that about 125 gigabytes
of data was leaked in the breach, including details on Twitch's highest-paid
video game streamers since 2019.
Twitch, an online e-sports platform with more than 30
million average daily visitors, has become increasingly popular with musicians
and video gamers where they interact with users while live streaming content.
