News Summary:

On September 10, 2026, a hacker claimed to possess data on approximately 40,000 Twitch streamers, which is reportedly for sale. Cybernews researchers indicated the data appeared scraped rather than resulting from a direct Twitch breach, suggesting the attacker may have exploited Twitch's API for some non-public emails. Previously, on September 8, the livestreaming platform announced that sponsorships, traditionally exclusive to its top-tier Partners, are now accessible to Affiliates, significantly broadening the pool of creators available for brands to discover, book, and compensate directly within the platform. That same day, a trend emerged indicating YouTube Gaming creators are commanding 23% higher rates than Twitch streamers in comparable deals over the past two years, with Twitch experiencing a dip in market share as rivals like YouTube Gaming and Kick gain traction. Earlier, on September 3, Twitch integrated clips into its DJ Program, allowing creators, editors, and mods to capture and share "mid-set moments" to social media.
