Also, that it appears only users in the creator community have had some of their personal account information hacked. For these users, Twitch has reset all Stream keys as a precaution.
The Verge and others report that it is Twitch itself that has had it's code and other proprietary information breached and reposted publicly. This public posting not only included Twitch source code and tools but also the proprietary information of affiliates and partners including Twitch creators who have had their payouts breached.
