If you're on twitch now is a good time to leave or change your password. Credible reports that the whole site, all code and databases has been leaked (125Gb compressed, freely accessible).
They're not sure if passwords are included, but I wouldn't gamble on it.

My Twitch password is unique to Twitch. If I change it, surely the new one is just as liable to be hacked?
I've set up 2FA anyway.

Leaving twitch is a bit extreme, where else am I going to find hot tub streams?!
How about not having a sig at all?

Re: FTAO Twitchers
If the leak contains the encrypted passwords (not confirmed), then they could be broken. If the hackers are still in the systems, then changing the password is unlikely to make much of a difference.
Good that you're using a unique password and 2FA, that at least minimises the potential damage.

I just received a text message from Twitch with a verification code. Interesting; I hadn't tried to log in though I did so before posting earlier.
