Fine ladies of New Eden, it might be time to reset our Twitch passwords:

http://blog.twitch.tv/2015/03/important-notice-about-your-twitch-account/

Update - you are now forced to reset your password as soon as you try to log in
-since the breach is confirmed, you should also change the password (and username) of any other service where you used the same login credentials

It's not even an option. They will prompt you to change your PW next login.

But it would be a great time to change PW's on any accounts that use the same user/pass as you did on Twitch. On a side note, stop using the same username/email/password Combo's on other sites. Just stop it. It's nothing but added risk. Not saying you need massively original PW's for every site, but some variations makes you so much more secure.

Why I don't Twitter, Twitch or Facebook - two words - SECURITY SECURITY.
But, you go ahead and be as cool as you want! After all, trust is cheap, right?

TYVM. Have a nice day! Big smile *waves to the NSA*

We must accommodate the idiocracy.

The only time i ever get "Hacked" , & thats when i'm bloody well hacked off... but that was when i was with my Ex.

That was a Trojan horse if i ever did see one. If only i had a firewall up, when my eyes set upon it for the first time. My lust for such a idol stole my heart from me & drained my soul into a cup of heavy thoughts for close of three seasons of death. The cup of poison it gave me, it took my mind from me & i was but a whisper to its very will.

Chills flow down my spine, like a virus never ending, thankfully it departed leaving scars on my mind. Not deep enough to take my fire. My wall of fire was once again "reborn", my thoughts my own. Once again.

I scan my flat this feeling i see not of eyes, but of thought "Something is missing", but what can it be!!!. It stole my cards... this shall not be...Its claws of nails already snatching, i was blinded. I quickly cancel, before it blacklists me. Passwords change & soon i be free. Its claws of nails empty handed.

Seasons pass, the heavens open & my walls no longer breached till i feel a Twitch... Shocked
True story, apart from this one time at band camp..... Shocked Keyloggers tried to... "gasps" it was soShocked !!!

I blame adverts for this long wall of rubbish, never give a person 5mins of what can i do.... P

EVEBoard ...Just over 60million skill points, each skill was chosen for a reason. I closed my eyes & clicked another skill to train... "BINGO...!!!" ... "This time i got something usefull"

Thanks for sharing. I was suffering from terminal insomnia till I read that.

Well, now I'm glad I didn't get into this Twitch thing.
