Amazon's Twitch Hack: Everything You Need To Know

An unidentified hacker has compromised Amazon.com Inc's AMZN video game streaming platform, Twitch.
The hacker claims to have exposed sensitive source code and detail on payouts to content creators, Bloomberg reports.
The leak also exposed Amazon's plans to launch a digital gaming distribution platform, a potential challenger to Valve Corp.'s dominant Steam storefront.
The leak detailed the platform's top streamers' earnings via payouts from August 2019 to September 2021, with some channels raking in up to $9.6 million during the period.
The hacker admitted the purpose of the leak was to "foster more disruption and competition in the online video streaming space," which he described as a "disgusting toxic cesspool."
Price Action: AMZN shares traded higher by 0.34% at $3,231.98 on the last check Wednesday.
