Twitch Streams / Message to Twitch Users

[Osvir]

Got this on my Twitter feed. Thought it might be prudent to post it here.

Change your passwords, Twitch:

thanks for the heads up

It looks like it is only if you logged into Twitch on 3/23/2015.

 

I wonder if you had to key in your password or if a cookie logs you in it also counts. Either way, I'll change it later on.

 

Thanks!

Edit that out Flow. (No spoilers). I gave this thread the wrong title. It should've been Message to Twitch Users: Change your Passwords or something similar.

The news article is in the first post. I suggest you read it if you logged in today to watch streams and if you use the same password on Twitch as you do somewhere else.

When I logged in today it asked me to change my password immediately - thankfully my password manager lets me have unique random weird passwords so no threat to me outside twitch.

 

Thankfully I dont have any other accounts linked to it as thats when the problems escalate!

I just remembered I use facebook to login into twitch

 

would i have been affected?

Check your e-mail and see if Twitch has sent you anything, otherwise you should change password on both pages, imo.
