The message "we were not hacked" sounds just like semantics to me; it look quite like there was a security leak, else the password reset does not make sense. my thoughts exactly... | ||

But seeing the empty stream page makes me kind of... anxious... about the future of video game streams (monopolies aren't a good thing). | ||

Working for Bitdefender and doing a browser for avoid leaks and phising is hard - but server side neglect is huge ! How the hell one can log on with another's account? | ||

It would bottleneck on my end before theirs. But you are not the entire North America... You can't make blatant generalizations like that. | ||

Ustream was good until they decided to be retards and make everything worse and worse. International streaming was like: livestream --> ustream -->justin/twitch --> (own3d) Some minor streaming sites were also used for games but they have/had no real relevance. | ||

As stated, some of us payed (for what Youtube viewers gets for free, and I know I *don't*, as paying customer); now lousy 5 bucks does not affect, but the CSC and number ARE major concerns. Working for Bitdefender and doing a browser for avoid leaks and phising is hard - but server side neglect is huge ! How the hell one can log on with another's account? This is one thing you absolutely do not have to worry about. I'm 100% positive that twitch does not store your credit card details. They are being passed to their payment provider without being logged or anyone at twitch even ever seeing them  Edit - source: I've PCI certified a payment gateway. If something like this was to happen, it would rain hellfire upon Twitch. Other than that, as someone on the first page mentioned, people were apparently being logged into different accounts via cookies. "CDN issue" makes sense in that case and the password reset is just a precaution to make sure those that were affected by this didn't screw with the other persons account. Edit: Nevermind, they clarified that this was just a display issue: Obviously they can't leave it like that though | ||

The message "we were not hacked" sounds just like semantics to me; it look quite like there was a security leak, else the password reset does not make sense. They could view private messages and dashboard stuff, but I'm not familiar with the dashboard stuff and how it displays passwords or credit card info or anything like that. So yeah, it's definitely some form of security leak but I don't think they were actually hacked. Nobody actually broke into their systems to do this (as far as I know), they messed everything up all by themselves. | ||
