Current Events > Just barely started using twitch to support streamers, and Ive been hacked!

(+) Yeah! (+)

Anybody else get twitch hacked?

Usually a youtube guy, but decided to watch and support people with twitch. I support one guy, epicnamebro, but according to twitch theres 5 people ive been supporting, and one person got like 280 dollars worth of bits from me, which I never purchased any bits its utter BS. I was honestly at inn and out yesterday when all of a sudden some streamer which I never watched and doesnt even play games (just chats), got over 280 bucks from me.

Thus I removed all my support from twitch, and getting my 280 dollars back from my bank. If that shit can happen that easily, fuck twitch.

I would contact twitch, and do a scan on your drive.

I have never heard to twitch being hacked. They're owned by Amazon now so I imagine their security is pretty solid.
I'd recommend checking your computer for viruses, malware, keyloggers, etc.

Edit: also each bit is worth 0.01 in USD.
So that's only $2.80, not $280.

Been watching for almost 8 years and this has never happened to me.

I have multifactor authentication turned on for my Twitch account, so it'll be damn near impossible to hack mine

Actually, my Twitch account did get hacked before I had multifactor authentication turned on. Took a while to get my account back. I didn't have any financial info tied to it, though.

He said $280 worth of bits, not 280 bits. So basically someone donated 20,000 bits on his account

You're right he did, my bad.
