Users of Twitch, the Amazon-owned video game streaming site, will have to reset their passwords after the service suffered a security breach, the company revealed today.
A post to the company’s official blog said that users will have to reset their account password, and the company has revoked all stream keys, which allow computers to stream video to the site. In addition, all integrations between Twitch, Twitter and Youtube have been revoked, so people who want those features will have to re-enable them.
According to an email set to affected users obtained by The Next Web, the breach may have included “your Twitch username and associated email address, your password (which was cryptographically protected), the last IP address you logged in from, and any of the following if you provided them to us: first and last name, phone number, address, and date of birth.”
The unexpected news is sure to frustrate Twitch, which also announced today that it will live stream footage from Ultra Music Festival in Miami next week as a part of its push to expand into music.
