Amazon-Owned Streaming Site Twitch Is Hacked

(c) Sky News 2015

People who use the Amazon-owned gaming site Twitch may have had their details stolen by hackers.

Amazon has warned of "possible unauthorised access" on the site, which lets people stream their games to viewers watching online.

Among the information at risk is username and password, IP address, login information, limited credit card information and personal details such as address and date of birth.

Twitch has disconnected accounts from Twitter (Xetra: A1W6XZ - news) and YouTube and expired user passwords in an effort to protect people from the hackers.

People who log on to the site now will be asked to create a brand new password, and told to change their passwords on websites in which they use a similar password.

The announcement by Twitch on its blog does not indicate the scale of the breach, or how many accounts might have been compromised.

Amazon beat off a rival bid from Google (Xetra: A0B7FY - news) to buy Twitch for $970m (£648m) last year.
