Good idea to change passwords for Twitch and connected accounts imho.

A 126GB torrent has been uploaded to 4chan, describing the Twitch community as a "disgusting toxic cesspool". The intention for the leak is to "foster more disruption and competition in the online video streaming space".

Oh cool, so the kid did it because he hates the community. Makes me wonder if it's another streamer.

tbh I wouldn't be surprised if they had someone on the inside helping. I get that people have skills, but this seems like a giant cache to just phish or stumble upon.

If someone working for Twitch helped them, it would kill the site. Nobody would trust their staff anymore and everyone would migrate to YouTube.
