Earlier today, twitch.tv streams went down as the site went into maintenance mode. Twitch issued a password reset and stream key reset for all users. A problem with a CDN partner caching is cited as the issue, though many blog comments are questioning the validity on the blog. I hope the user accounts are not compromised, and knowing twitch.tv and their excellent tech team this should be some minor mishap. However, standard precautions with any sort of password resets should apply!

You can get 1080p quality for free here. Kind of weird since some of us had to pay for the same quality on Twitch.

Yeah lots of people are saying they could access people's personal messages, see their email address, give moderator powers etc.

Also the "maintenance" banner is titled hackflag. http://www.twitch.tv/images/hackflag.png

Seems like they got hacked and there was a massive info leak.

would be nice if they upgraded their hardware soon also, lately ive been laggy when it comes to peak hours for streaming, while normally i can watch a stream with 10k people in it at 1080p no lag, but if its during a weekend during a tournament, 480p with slight lag

Interesting.. InControl said earlier today that all twitch partner payouts had been delayed by a month. Could be related?

Apparently whole loads of people were getting logged in as other people and gaining access to dashboard and all sorts. Very much not a minor problem.

Now it's changed back to the regular twitch logo. Interesting :O

That's definitely not a good thing, I hope nothing bad happens, but that's a truly naive thing to think at this point.

Fishstix insists that Twitch wasn't hacked, I don't think they would cover it up directly if they were.

Well, even if there database isn't directly compromised, this situation where account cookies/passwords are getting mixed up by their servers is enough of a big deal to warrant a long maintenance.

They don't have to get hacked to fuck up account access, can be bad caching like they claim.

Something scary enough to make twitch reset passwords occurred, that's all I need to know. Also between the lag, twitch not paying people on time and this I really want youtube to mop the floor with them someday.
