Apparently Twitch is the latest system to have suffered "unauthorised access". They recommend that you change your password. Click here to read Eurogamer's news report.

Thankfully just sometimes watch on X1 and don't have an account. Still incredible this happens to companies of this size, ridiculous and amateur.

I got a force log out before, I couldn't log back in until I had changed my password.

Between this and the boomerang rentals fuckery earlier in the year, I'm getting pretty strawberry floated off with all this "hacking".

Shameful from twitch as well, especially when they've just been bought for some much money. What pisses me off is I went on twitch and just got the page to reset my password with no explanation why. Only from looking on twitter did I see the press release on gaming websites, why didn't twitch just have it on the page as well to inform people? :|

I had some spoof emails from the 'DVLA' this morning. I only gave them my details in January, so in just over two months of them having my data, it's been compromised :fp: :lol:
