Needless to say I was impacted. I actually received an email from Twitch this morning and went through the process of changing my password and so forth. I believe Twitch integrated Authy -- which I've used for years now and highly recommend -- so I might go ahead and set that up.

Edit: I stand corrected, from my brief understanding of Twitch, it sounds like there isn't 2FA/DFA for the general userbase.

Every user password was reset with some users getting a follow up emails. Changed the password and still going to carry on using the service.
