Popular streaming service Twitch confirmed yesterday that a data breach had occurred that leaked a massive amount of data into the wild. Twitch said yesterday, when it first announced the data breach occurred, it was working to understand the extent of the breach and promised to share more information when available.

Earlier today, we heard a rather shocking report which claimed that Twitch may have suffered a massive data breach.

Now, Twitch has confirmed that it did indeed suffer a breach but has stopped short of confirming the extent.
