Twitch source code and customer data has reportedly been leaked

Isn't that the basis of the economy with the increasing wealth gap and so on? It's not really materially different to paying Disney millionaires to go watch the latest Marvel movie.
The difference is that Twitch viewers are already consuming the content for free. Subscribing or donations are completely optional. ( subscriptions get rid of the adds, but I doubt that's a main driver)
I dunno if you know this but you don't have to pay for the Marvel movies either.
Re: Twitch source code and customer data has reportedly been leaked
#103> Some Twitter users have started making their way through the 125GB of information that has leaked, with one claiming that the torrent also includes encrypted passwords, and recommending that users change their passwords to be safe. Twitch just asked me to change password for the first time, so it sounds credible.
Its possible, if theres a full database dump that direct messages could also be leaked, which could be incredibly damaging. I'd guess that these would be in another storage medium however.
One wonders. Why are encrypted passwords stored in an external code repository?

Maybe if viewed in a cynical way yes. At least when i donate to blue origin i get something tangible delivered to my door. Where is the value exchange in being one of 10k people building a faux-relationship with a hot tub streamer?
Same as with paying to see a Disney movie: entertainment. It's just a bit more interactive, since streamers are a bit more likely to interact with you after you give them money.

I mean it's not cynical (at least not anymore than your initial comment), it's what we're doing and why I used another entertainment option as a point of comparison.
Of all the things on Twitch the value of Hot Tub streams seem very upfront and I think it's pretty telling that there are vanishingly few successful streamers doing it and that for all the hot air people spew about its a very niche part of the site.

#107Managed git services suck at providing security that scales beyond a few devs. Most orgs that use GitHub are exposed to the risk of having their source code leaked by current or past employees.
I'm hoping this leak will have serious financial consequences and bring awareness to that.

What's the legality of downloading something like this? If someone is on the torrent they're effectively distributing it as well as downloading.
If you're going to download it, I would probably use a VPN or something before you do. Technically, this would be copyright infringement. I don't know if Amazon would go after people downloading this, but you just don't know.
