Streamlabs, a privately owned company headquartered in the US and a subsidiary of Logitech, was founded in 2020 and operates with approximately 90 employees, focusing on software development. The company provides a suite of software solutions designed to enable live streamers to engage with viewers, monetize their broadcasts, and grow their channels across platforms including Twitch, YouTube Live, Facebook Live, and TikTok.
The hacking collective ShinyHunters delivered an ultimatum to Logitech and its subsidiary Streamlabs on August 20, 2026, alleging a breach of the Swiss-based hardware manufacturer and the popular streaming platform for gamers, and issuing an extortion threat. Previously, on August 19, ShinyHunters allegedly breached Streamlabs, threatening to leak stolen data after August 21st, although the attackers had not shown samples for researchers to verify what data, if any, was stolen. This followed a major cybersecurity warning that emerged on August 18 when ThreatMon reported that the ShinyHunters threat group added Logitech and Streamlabs to its list of victims, placing the technology brands at the center of renewed attention on cybercrime and stolen corporate information. Earlier in the month, on August 11, Streamlabs highlighted its Network Boost feature, which aims to solve unstable connection problems in in-real-life (IRL) streaming, where a disconnected stream can result in audience loss. This feature was initially announced on August 4, with Streamlabs, a Logitech-owned purveyor of streamer overlays and data tools, stating that Network Boost improves connectivity for streamers broadcasting on the go, addressing situations where a spotty Wi-Fi signal can abruptly end a live stream.
