Twitch’s security breach has culminated with thousands of data leaked and exposed on the network. In addition to the source code and revenue earned by several of the world’s best-known content creators, it has also been made public that some turkish streamers they have managed to amass unusually large amounts of money. They played Valorant and had received significant donations despite their low views. Now an illegal money laundering scheme has been discovered.
The investigation has determined that these streamers were offered an agreement, whereby they had to return between 50% and 70% of income. On the surface, this black money was returning to its illegitimate owners legally, when in reality it came from stolen credit cards and Twitch accounts. Although the person who leaked all the data from Twitch has placed special emphasis on this case, it is not clear if this was the main reason for airing all the information.
