From the initial breach, it was revealed that Asmongold made about 19 million from 2019. However, this would later be corrected in a second post on 4chan to be about 2.5 million. In response,Asmongoldstated during a stream that he doesn’t care much for the breach, but the number for his earnings was wrong.
Other important information that was leaked fromTwitchservers that were leaked was the website’s source code, information about a Steam competitor named Vapor, along with the earnings of other top creators on the website. Earlier today, Twitch made a post on its Twitter account say that it is aware of the hack and is working urgently to fix it. Twitch has also promised to update the community as soon as it can and to bear with them.
Twitch was already in murky water with the creators on the website after the rise ofhate raids on Twitch, so with this event following shortly after doesn’t bode well for the platform. Luckily, the leaked information was only the streamer’s earnings and not something more severe like social security numbers or other personal information. This also probably explains why Asmongold wasn’t too pressed about the issue. Hopefully, Twitch does something soon to address this issue, find the ones responsible, and put countermeasures in place to prevent this from happening again.
